@Shayan SameerOK - seemed like you were, can you provide more info? 

Additionally, you could also check with your insurance provider to confirm there's no active risk and provide that documentation to the lender as reassurance.

The one aspect I'd say where planning can really provide benefit however is with tax planning.

I paid for the subscription for a few months and drew my own custom Google maps areas and color coded them red/yellow/green based on a "grade" I felt came from a few metrics like crime/average household income/etcI also really like realtors dot com new maps, if you search for an address and click on the map and then go to the top left and choose the Value slider it will give you a nice color coded map of which areas of a neighborhood are higher valued.
