I got a request from someone whose current house sold and the future house wasn't completed yet. 

@Chris Seveney Hey Chris, I'm going to shoot a friend request and send you a PM.

Do I request a check for the application fee? 

You don’t have to know how to fix this stuff, just how to identify it from photos, what to request of your agent’s walkthroughs, and what matters in an inspection report.People usually stick with conventional financing as long as possible before going to portfolio/commercial options.

Even if your GC has an engineer you can tell them you don't want to use theirs and provide your own, or you can request that you will use their recommendation but you would prefer to contract with them directly.

You don't say what state you are in, and they all have different time frames for inspections, and processes for requesting repairs.

@Rena Barron Hello Rena, have they requested a receipt?

3) I know what information I would want to know, but what all professional jargon should I be familiar with in requesting all the information so that the seller knows that I am serious?

I had made payment of $7000 on Jan 1st at the request of the CPA to avoid any penalties or fines, as the W2 holdings were not good enough this year.

We got a request.
