jandr is exactly right, I just never contemplated "pre-approval" aka"shopping the loan" as a bona fide system.I do my job, and then based on knowing the matrices HAVE a home for the loan based on familarity with lenders and their programs Before Submitting same.Lenders don't like(as a rule) multiple "submissions" while I know this was never mentioned by jandr, this is what 1 would be led to beleive.We don't submit partial or full packages to lenders (normally) for a "pre-approval", we submit them for FINAL approval, clearing of conditions, and funding.I have submitted contingent on credit, spoken w/head underwriters, etc., just prefer to not "shotgun" or even solicit the file unless 95-99% feedback from A/E/Underwriter is positive and we're just dealing with a specific exception to their guidelines...it is NOT wise (imho) to submit a "package" to either multiple lenders, nor to "partially submit" a file unless there is some specific issue w/the borrower/property that needs to be dealt with in advance of complete submission.

However, I would screen them all and choose the strongest applicant using their order of submission as a tie-breaker.

HUD's contract submission checklist2.

When they reviewed all submissions a couple hours later on the zoom call, they said, no appraisal was shared in their file so they obviously didn't even bother listening to my argument. 

Bootcamps, free transactional funding etc . those in program roughly how long did it take from submission of deal to them finding buyer's?

I talked to one company (in the nanotech sector) that was more than a month behind due to the amount of submissions they receive.In order to have any real chance of success, you have to use what I call the "shotgun" approach.

The form submission did not complain about my CC ... it was my postal code it did not like ... but it may have been related to CC verification.

Here are a few items I would like to find resolutions to:1) Estimating/organizing rehab and material costs during a walk through2) Creating scope of work time lines and schedules3) Organizing/compiling a "TO DO" list from start to finish of each project (including submission of financials, estimating ARV, creating a budget, getting keys made, a list of subs and inspections to schedule, etc, etc, anything and everything that might be important and potentially forgotten)4) Recommendations - anything that you use that you think helps save time and increase organization, helps budget, etc.

I'm sorry, but when compared to the amount of time holding it (with good property management in place) the time spent doing due diligence prior to offer submission and closing is miniscule.

If you miss a deadline for paperwork submission, it starts over or worse, they lock you out of the file.
