It doesn't seem like you're in a position to shop, so just something to keep in mind for future reference.Also, when you're talking about a 30-year fixed loan, if one lender tells you they can do something that several others said they cannot...it's a huge red flag.  

@David Dachtera  first course of action is to simply and I say very simply.. go to the county or city .. talk with the planning department.. and make sure the lots were recorded as final plats.. and are legal lots of record. just because utls are in does not mean the plat was recorded.then see if there are any other red flags.. then go to public works ask the same questions.then go to the building department and make sure they don't have them flagged.

I was required to fax in:Copy of my Drivers LicenseCopy of my Social Security CardNOTARIZED water service applicationSigned copy of settlement statement from title companyThis seems like a ridiculous amount of red-tape required to set up water and trash service with the city of Dallas.  

The other part of wholesaling that is a possible red flag is Equity Stripping, AKA Illegal Flipping, this was heavily regulated till a few years ago by lenders, especially M.I. companies, they have relaxed the rules, but was a problem pre and post crash. seeing the increase in this activity seems eerily familiar,  like 2007 all over again. just be careful especially with your license, Disclose Early, Often, and in Writing, My license is too valuable to me to be involved in this type of transaction, so i steer clear. if my entity is on the contract, I am the one closing. period. 

Is concealing your contact info common or is it usually a red flag?

This is the Land of the Authentic Green and Red Chili!!!

It's bold but still neutral enough to go with most decor.

The owner basically wont do it unless i help him find a place to move to over in Red oak.

I found and edited a checklist for our walk through tonight, so I can make sure I see any red flags in advance.

This means the size of the piers, reinforcing steels and depth of the piers are supersized.2) The Berkeley, Kensington market is red hot and contractors are in short supply.
