I continue to get emails from Steve Mayer of Finance holding Company, but he keeps wanting me to pay a deposit + his 2% origination fee upfront...seems like a scam and wanted to see if anyone has done business with them in the past

Did you sign anything to terminate the original deal?

The house was originally listed for $262,000 and I was able to get the price down to $232,000 based on the condition of the home.

A week before the original tenants official move out date was scheduled they informed me that they were “dropped” by the lender and they are starting to work with a new lender.

They also haven't kept records of the original origination documents as far as I can tell. 

This route will be limited to original purchase price as value basis and will be capped at 75-80%.

That means the bank will either say “We agree, it’s worth $20k over original asking price.

It was intended as a fix and flip, and our original exit strategy was reached. we bought with hard money then did a refi to convential because repairs became drawn out and rented for some cf to by is time. we ended up selling for 405,000 and our loan balance was 235,000.
