Update: Despite correcting everything that Bluevine CS told me to fix and reapplying for 2nd draw through both BV and CR, I got denied again - sorry
@Dan I tried. I then applied to another bank (#3) that was posted here, but never heard back from them.
Then a DDFer was kind enough to PM me the contact info of a smaller bank (#4) with actual loan officers you can talk to, and B"H they got me approved and sent me the DocuSign closing documents. But after no communication since applying a week ago, I now got an email from bank #3 that also has DocuSign closing documents that are dated 2 days earlier than #4's, meaning that I was seemingly approved twice. Banks #3 and 4 both have SBA loan numbers in the e-sign documents they sent me, and they're not the same!
How is it possible that Etran didn't reject whichever one came in second? And now that they both got approved, does it matter which one I take? I'd prefer to take #4 since they may know I'm frum and I don't want to cause a chillul Hashem, and also because I've interacted with actual people there who could always come in handy if there's any issues with forgiveness. But is it a problem that their SBA loan is dated 2 days later than #3's? And even though both were independently approved, I assume it's illegal and/or really stupid to try to take both, right? Anything else I need to know or do here?
