Perhaps you read my latest episode of REALLY??!?! regarding a missing portable microwave killing loan approval. Maybe you didn't. If you didn't, it's a fun read, and actually really funny...
Many of you asked how it turned out...Well,I sent off an email on Sunday morning with pictures of the portable microwave (with trim kit) along with the cubby...
I specifically asked the loan officer how the appraiser knew it was not a cookbook nook or an art niche (thank you Lenn Harley) and how the bank could require my clients to install PERSONAL PROPERTY into a house they do not own. I asked why the bank wasn't requiring a refrigerator.
The best part was that I actually included the PDF of the manual which read "GE 1.5 Cu. Ft. Countertop Convection/Microwave Oven".
Well, today, the underwriters WAIVED the requirement! YAY!

It just goes to show that you shouldn't accept the first answer you're given. And thank you to EVERYONE who chimed in and gave me great advice. The points you made were SO helpful and that's what I really love about ActiveRain.
