In my experience, the insurance adjuster is the one who identifies damage and determines what needs to be repaired/replaced, then the roofer is hired to complete that work.

Maybe reaching out, posting it on social media, price adjustment etc

Many lenders want to see insurance in place as part of their "underwriting"Are all hard money lenders participating in this chicken vs egg challenge or are there some that use common sense and have adjusted their practices to accommodate the various laws throughout the nation?

Youll need to adjust to the new reality.

I like it because it does appear to be a one stop shop for what I use it for, but its gonna take some time to adjust to the workflow. 

I've had similar experiences with insurance companies inspecting my rental properties after purchase and making specific demands like repairs or adjusting deductibles based on their findings.

If you don't get any information from his credit/criminal, you can at least verify identity and income.3.

Losing $800 monthly is going to KILL you if you don't adjust.  

But ultimately you'll need to adjust the information for your local opportunities.
