So I would ask what you care the most about depending on the type of deals you do.I do think checking references and reviews is important as that's sometimes overlooked and some lenders are notorious for switch & baiting. 

During the renovation phase, adhere strictly to the scope of work and budget, conducting regular walkthroughs to monitor progress and ensure quality.As the project nears completion, prepare for sale by staging the property to highlight its best features and create buyer appeal.

@Teri Feeney Styers the slow flip method that I think he is referring to is the one coined by Scott Jelinek which is buying a livable property using private money on a short term (typical 60 month--like a car) and immediately marking it up 2-4 times and selling it on a 30 year term using a land contract.

While you can have a checklist of income, credit score, criminal background, landlord reference, etc, to me the bigger tell of good versus less than good tenants came from all the interactions prior to leasing.  

If you have a lender you trust and work with regularly, it wouldnt hurt to have a conversation about it with them.

This is the exact same approach we are taking - information has gone out a few times in our newsletters over the last year and a half, with more details available upon request, along with FYIs to clients at year end or other regular meetings. 

Being new to this process, it seems a regular referral form won't work.

I guess a lot of Scott's buyers are under water the day they sign a loan, so he must be regularly evicting and reselling some of those houses.

I can refer you to ones I use for my units.

Only thing better would be initial deposit and then paid in full upon Certificate of Occupancy and punchlist complete.Of course, standard items should also be checked: licensed, insured, willing and able to pull all required permits, reference checks.I would also commonly avoid the cheapest bid you get.
