I know some landlords rotate locks but personally, I'm not comfortable with that as a secure option.

If some applicants fall below your requirements, then everyone would be considered "conditional," you can raise the security deposit to mitigate your risk of someone breaking up or defaulting. 

Hi Sean, There are many programs for international buyers to secure financing. 

Pros to my current position: Secure, w2, pay is above average, benefits are stellar, schedule is somewhat flexible (can leave if I need to without penalty; vacation when I want - utilizing banked time on both), 3 miles from home, and hopefully a pension in 17 years. 

I'm going to look into those, I've never heard of them before but always interesting to see what security and tools are out there. appreciate it!

The builder will need to supply a Cost analysis, Blue print and a few other things prior to the Draw being negotiated and set up.The land that you own will act as "Equity" to offset the LTV/LTC so you are off to a good start. 

I think they get a sense of security when booking through one of them.  

My goal is simple: once we secure a deal, I buy directly from the seller with cash, and you earn a fee.Are these kinds of arrangements common?

I can probably secure it for around 60k, and it's probably worth about 250k after renovation.

I am surprised that my lender is asking me to access Social Security Records and a tax transcript.
