I was already out of the house when I started the workout process with
CW, which started with the short sale (back in July I think).
Once I switched to the DIL, they had to first see if I qualified. Once they determined that I did qualify, it seemed that they wanted me out of there fairly quickly.
I don't think, once qualified, that the DIL process takes very long. If not for the city lein (as described above) I would have been done with this process soon (a few weeks) after I was approved.
I think that's why, in addition to a couple other items they may want, they want you out as soon as the process begins.
