.-2.5 months organizing and waiting for the city to approve drawings and release a permit: I learned the Durham city rules and what they were all looking for in this type of full renovation project and how important it is to have a full set of engineering prints made up asap after buying a property-2.8 months of waiting on contractors to pass inspection: it amazed me how many contractors don't bother to show up to meet the inspections guys when they come out, so there was a lot of this is what it says on paper, but the real problems were not getting fixed, this resulted in a lot of failed attempts to be inspected.

., but also know that any sort of rebate requested must fully disclosed, appear on closing disclosures, be approved by the listing agent, their employing broker, and most of all, by your lender.

Do you need to have a house under your name in order to get approved for your first deal flip or wholesale?

They must pay the fee with the next rent cycle, and if the person wants to stay they must apply and be approved to be added to the lease.To date, I have only had to enforce that policy once. 

They will provide you with a list of Approved contractors in your area, to help the process.

There is no pre-approval.

doing the refinance and  buying  a rental  should  be able to be processed /  approved   simultaneously ....you might be able to use one credit report and  use  credit supplements  to update  accounts as needed .....I would recommend  closing the refinance  first and then  closing the  rental property  1-2 weeks  after the refinance  closes

Appraisal and approval is done and deal is firm..A pre approval is as good as cash in most properties in Toronto area..I had a few properties in Chicago and Indiana where the deal collapsed 14 days before closing because of financing.. that rarely happens where I am from..
