Buyers Lender Wants All Rehab Documentation

We flip a fair amount of properties every year and from time to time we complete the buy-rehab-sell transaction within 90 days. When that occurs, the lenders appraiser will usually ask for a list of repairs to justify the price increase. We have even had to get a second appraisal when the buyer was doing FHA financing. In our latest deal, we have run into a lender asking for the following documents:

  • List of all contractors and licenses
  • Copies of all permits for work
  • Every receipt of items purchased for the home (about 35)
  • Make and model number of new appliances, hvacs, garage doors

Needless to say I think this deal is going to die unless the buyer finds another lender to work with. Does anyone else get this kind of request??
