Why Deals Fall Apart—And How I Prevent It

Most deals don’t fail at pre-approval. They fall apart in underwriting—usually due to poor communication, missed details, or issues discovered too late.

Here’s where most deals break down:

Poor communication between parties

Slow or inconsistent follow-up

Issues discovered late in underwriting
