Any regular contractor would 100% not have kept up with all the paperwork needed and stipulations necessary to get this loan.

The only stipulation is most lenders will only count rental income towards your DTI ratio if you can show income on your last two years tax returns.  

Just a question on California law and Auction.com, when they stipulate Est.

Luckily they see enough of these to stipulate the transfer and proceed with a conditional approval pending an update on the prelim.

@Jan Ferry-AxmanYou may not do that.IRS rules stipulate that there may be no direct or indirect benefit, in either direction, between a plan and a disqualified party. 

Be aware of FHA and HUD stipulations and requirements.  

Probably the way to structure it would be to document each "change" in writing, and stipulate in the lease any modification without my written approval would result in the violation of the lease.

I don't know if this is in your lease and, if not, perhaps something to add for the future.For my personal duplex with a shared water line/sewer bill, I have a stipulation in my lease that late fees, utility bills, and tenant-caused damage is paid for first and then remaining monies are applied to rent. 

Our agreement stipulated we had to complete them within 90 days.Unless your agreement requires the seller to make the repairs I am guessing you will have a similar arrangement. 

Thank you Wayne for pointing that stipulation in the Finance Addendum in your last post.
