Conditional approval is the normal middle of every loan, not a setback. What conditions actually are, the ones investor files see most, and the response habits that keep closings on calendar.
The insurance binder is a closing document, not an afterthought. Landlord versus homeowner policies, the coverage points underwriters verify, flood zones, and getting the mortgagee clause right.
