If the file is not complete (i.e. insufficient financial updates or verification of a solid borrower) they will get "dinged" by the regulators which they DO NOT want. 

@Michael Woodward I have never received push back due to my S-corp identity.

I’m looking at a nearly identical situation in a near by neighborhood.

Although there are usually pretty darn good investment reasons two identical properties (3/2s) might have an actual and future value difference in the millions. 

Each building within the community is a row of 6 attached townhouses, all identical with the exception of the end-units only sharing 1 wall, while the other share 2.

Both units are pretty much identical to each other in terms of square feet, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, however, with just a few main differences such as:1) The lower unit has one window less than the upper unit in the back of condo due to the stairs from the upper deck down to the ground level so that stairs end up preventing the possibility for a window in that wall on the left side in the back of the lower unit. 2) The upper unit has a structure on the roof that is considered as a den room and it has a nice view of monument and Capitol Hill.

Asking for a copy of the lease agreement is fine, you approved them and so with this verification the VA will be able to grant him the funds he can be provided.. 

Two weeks for verbal employment verification, seriously?

I also state that I review landlord history and verify employment before requesting tenant pay Smartmove directly for background check, so delay in verification may hold up their application. 

A good set of storm windows and original old windows is virtually identical - if not more efficient - than a new set of windows.
