Nice to hear a success story and to hear somebody owning up to verbal commitments even if they might not have been legally obligated to do so.  

Also, since they are much more loosely regulated, it is easier for a real estate developer to commit fraud and not be detected.So it makes sense to me that there are rules in place to prevent "the average Joe", who probably isn't very sophisticated, from being ripped off.

If you don't intend to live there for at least a year, I'd venture to say you may be committing mortgage fraud.

I'm  doing this whole investor/flipper thing full time know and am committed to make it work.  

What am I committing to if I do?

I assume there will be some disclosures for me to sign at closing, but at this point, I've only been asked to complete an application, personal financial statement, questionnaire about the property, and to sign the loan commitment letter.My attorney will review the closing docs from the CU and will alert me if anything appears wrong.

They want to know that you have skin in the game and are committed to paying back. 

So me and my husband are committed and ready to start our journey in real estate investing!

Since committing to this goal of becoming a successful real estate investor, I have found several helpful resources to include BiggerPockets.com (via Podcasts).

I am looking for all of the information that I need to consider before I commit to building.
