What is the usual or acceptable amount that hard money adds to the cost of the deal, when its being used just until a refinance, ie, about 5 months? 

Have been in business since Jun 15; closed two deals, 3rd about to close; have one escrow that opens today (10-12-15) and one accepted short sale offer waiting on SS lender approval.

I have a one page cover sheet I add to each application with check boxes to show that they have the "deal breaker criteria", a section to score the "nice to have" criteria, and a section to briefly explain my acceptance or rejection.Our Criteria: Complete applicationVerifiable rental historySufficient income/resources to pay rent and liveCredit report showing prior addresses consistent with application We do not deny housing for race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, sexual orientation, marital status, or familial status.We do deny housing to individuals:convicted of manufacturing or selling drugsconvicted of a crime the poses a threat to the property or neighborhood, including repeated disturbances, gambling, prostitution, violence, threats of violence, or rapewhere there is poor prior tenancy: evictions, violations, damage to rental property, poorly handled move outs, amounts are still owing to landlords or utilities.who misrepresent information on the rental application

If Supreme Court doesn’t accept appeal, Writ of Possession is immediately available.12. 8th day after Tenant leaves: Any personal property left by the Tenant; after that landlord can dispose of it as they wish and does not need to reimburse Tenant.

They will either accept or not but you don't have to offer near asking price.

I only inspect after I get an accepted offer.  

The Mortgagee has the ability to accept or reject insurance in most cases through the language in the security instrument.  

The acceptance came from a guy named ***** whose the COO of *****. ***** said in the email: I am a partner of ***** and ***** passed the contract for ***** on to me.I don't know if that matters, but I wanted to mention it.Due diligence ends on 10/22/15 at 11:30 a.m.
