I've only ever purchased homes as primaries, one being rented out currently to an insurance company and the other is my current primary.

All require the "lender" to be licensed in the state, for borrower to have no mortgage lates or hiccups, have different rules and change the rules whenever their investors (not government MBS these are big guns investment firms with pulse of the location where your property sits) see clouds in the sky.

One thing you may want to consider is some sort of umbrella insurance - that might be a cheaper option, I'd price out bother.

You should also check to ensure they have Errors & Omissions insurance, Fidelity Bond coverage, and a Financial Institution Blanket Bond.Some are more consultative and advisory and provide guidance, while others are just processors. 

Only thing better would be initial deposit and then paid in full upon Certificate of Occupancy and punchlist complete.Of course, standard items should also be checked: licensed, insured, willing and able to pull all required permits, reference checks.I would also commonly avoid the cheapest bid you get.  

My bookkeeping firm provides me with a steady active income, which allows me to keep doing deals, cover unexpected expenses, and navigate the occasional black swan event.My Take on Cash Flow:Cash Flow is a hedge against corrections.

So we're doing a BTR construction project.Land: $0 since we've owned it for a number of years.We are working with a design-build architectural firm.

In my case this week this was full title insurance for me as a lender in 4 hours which as stated is the fastest service I personally have gotten.

Forget Title insurance. 

My agent said it wasn't worth challenging because Nationwide is leaving the state.Our insur. agency sent a new proposal from Bass insur.
