However, is it a red flag to the lender if I ask them this question?

The buyers agent actually pushed back when we asked for an official loan denial letter, which rose red flags making it look like they had to ask the lender to be denied.  

and this market while not red hot multiple offer type market its quite consistent .. so the risk/reward on this was I risked the 125k BEFORE we were annexed and certainly before approvals..

. : ) What part of KC is to be avoided, Westport is red hot, North of the river hot, down towards Bartle Hall booming.

Sort of like running a traffic light changing from yellow to red  - OK as long as nobody catches you doing it.

You may be able to get a loan but any of these red flags will limit the lending avaliability.

First red flagOriginally posted by cashboy2010: I'm not saying its another high priced, super slick, superbly marketed, REI gimmick...I'm just saying...If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck then.........

With new non-homestead taxes, upkeep, marketing, LLC fees and current and future repairs seem to be running us into the red.

While certainly not enough info to draw any hard conclusions, see the red flag for what is is worth at this point.If they don't answer or respond to their cell phones, meet agreed upon schedule for assuming utilities, signing the lease and moving in, are they displaying the characteristics of tenant you would really want?
