This forum has been extremely helpful.Hey Pat, regarding your docs for buying: 1.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

The product is called a Bridge Loan. 

However, dealing with the seller is a bit of a mess - she is extremely pushy and want me to place a $50k earnest money deposit ASAP.

The last thing you want is for them just run venting across the ceiling and you see it (as an extreme example)I think you could split it or just say if that's what they want then they would have to pay for it.

Construction of homes began in early 2022.In my experience, my commercial sites move along a much faster timeline, but this one was exciting to finally see a completed product. 

When I approve a customer for an investment home its extremely hard to find a good agent that will "listen" to the buyer and me as the banker.

Any advice would be extremely appreciated.

In my opinion, it can be a sign of builder/investor confidence in a given area if they're willing to put up the capital to build new homes in a given area: they believe there will be enough demand to sell their new products.

If so conventional will be better because FHA/Conv guidelines are the wheel house typically of mortgage broker and some times banker (synonymous names but they all do and sell the same product).Credit unions can sometimes do Fannie Freddie/conventional FHA too but generally aren’t that great at them.
