The best way to feel out the type of lender you will be dealing with is by seeking referrals and communicating directly with them during the origination process.

I am in the business to make money .Plain and simple . 

The worst lenders I have dealt with are the ones with underwriters in one time zone and origination department in another, branch manager in another that don’t communicate well with each other and end up over-promising while not being able to deliver.

A simple baseline plan might’ve steered him toward properties with more reliable maintenace histories or a stronger neighborhood profile, saving him a lot of sweat.

Also price is irrelevant if you dont have a good team and a good contractor who you communicate  well with. 

Good luckI must have not communicated clearly.

Communicate with your lender if cash flow is tight.

A couple times we were able to collect but it was not as simple as make the claim and collect.  

(Think "S" means "Simple", and "C" means "Complicated") Don't try it at home.

I will say that communication with OpenDoor is much better than that of other institutional sellers I've worked with.
