So instead of just denying that request they lock out the whole account for a short amount of time. 

I am a Realtor/Investor and I have a request to try to locateAny rentals that take section 8 vouchers in Will county and Dupage county in Illinois3br or more.

I had to request my real estate agent call their agent and threaten to pull the deal and if they went after my earnest money the possibility of reporting fraud. then magically the required documentation showed up the next day and the sale closed in a week.

My plan is to ask for reduction of 20,000$ and come out of pocket the other $10,000 to make the deal go through.Original Asking 89,900Sales Price $117,500 (price was driven up by multiple offers on the home)Appraised As Is Value $80,000ARV $125,000~$25,000 for rehabMy plan is to have an addendum with a reduction request of $90,000 with $2,000 closing assistance as opposed to $3,525.Does any have any private money lenders that they can refer me to preferably in Connecticut?

You can search for them within bigger pockets can send out some friend requests. 

I should mention I am actually living in the property as my primary residence, not renting this one out. 1) When I request to put the previous owner as an additional insured since his name is still on the mortgage, and they ask why, what is the right answer?

Security First does not require a Four Point but they will request verbal confirmation that the home is in good shape.

Again, it is your responsibility to ask and if you are in a flood risk area, then you need to request flood insurance cover - and then check your policy when you receive it that it is actually covered.

I sent in a request to a ton of a lenders today to at least start discussions. 

That's a pretty reasonable request.
