This will help you cure many last minute hiccups without touching the lender's net. 

2) Notice that AFTER getting your approval,  you still have a full month to negotiate the deal  (before expiration) plus asking for extension & keep grinding for some items they cut out originally. 

Sometimes they give in last minute & agree last minute.  Plus you can ask for extension a week before closing ...

For example: I got an approval of  $1,650,000.00 on a property with only $12k to 2nd & they were not willing to accept any less than $150k.

I got the approval from 1st lender, then asked for extension & pushed 1st lender by sending a new hud to accept the entire amount to be paid to 2nd from their processed & even though they rejected me twice before.   4 days before closing they accepted to reduce additional  $145k from their net & we added $5k from the non recurring credit from sellers 3% towards buyer's closing  which they also allowed before & we closed escrow.  

3)When all else fails and the lender is not co-operating you may seek help by placing a complaint from yourself and your homeowner with FDIC. I am in California and I have placed complaint 3 times on 3 different lenders where they were able to help me with a difficult short sales.
