I negotiated through the original contract and then put the rest of the deal together with an existing group of investors.

Your original post has most of the right questions to ask (and find out by yourself) about the developer.

I would be using hard money lending (I've heard it's around 10% with a 1% origination fee) .  

Because the original value of your closed loan was based on renovations being done, there is no additional value to use for the removal of the PMI.Maybe consider refi to another lender who will order another AVM or appraisal to get you a more desirable LTV.

So with all of this in mind, I see no point to your original post.And are pointing this out because your channel has 85,000 subscribers?

People follow those who have unique takes and are original.

He also stated a 3% origination cost. 

(It ended up selling about 9 months later for less than 2/3 of original asking price.)
