Any Way to Expedite Receiving a Payoff from the SBA for an EIDL?
Trying to close a sale (I'm the listing broker) by this Friday (March 19th) and the closing attorney is stating that we need payoff information from the SBA for the property owner's outstanding EIDL (Economic Injury Disaster Loan) before we can close.  The closing attorney says it usually takes them 2 weeks to receive this from putting in a request (the request is being put in today).  Is there any way to expedite this process to receive the payoff in time to close on Friday?

I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience dealing with the SBA on something like this and has any tips.  All we have now is to call the 1-800 number and get in line.

Thank you!
