No system is perfect, so don't waste your time chasing after the next shiny object.

@Kim Ford  you bet I do quite a bit of work in SC.. we are building new construction in Charlestonand I have come to find out chasing down title in that state is not very easy.. the only way to do it is to pay to have an abstractor do it for you.. and it takes 3 to 5 days to get.We are spoiled out our way.. our title plants are in the phillipines and we get instant title commitments IE same day.. and or can call customer service at our title company and get a date down on the phone in 90 seconds.. :)  much harder in attorney driven states like SC

@Chase Arthurcan you house hack?

We'll be happy with the 1% rule delivering a superior product over the long-term and let everyone else chase the high-risk 2%.

Between their time frame, budget, expectation on condition and size, we are chasing a unicorn.

After chasing and following up aggressively (even involving our lender) the contractor has disappeared. 

Cap One does (and they pull from all three for the hard inquiry) ,Chase does not report.I personally would wait until after the pro-approval.
