I need to ensure there is clear title and no liens what-so-ever. 2) If I have an investor that I've never used before and I want to "pre-approve" them I can always get a proof of funds letter if they are using cash.

@Jeff Keller I also did some research and I am going to go to my branch and see if they'll accept deposit slips with the only the last 4 digits on the slip.

Some people will get 20+ letters from investors.

Do you think it's worth writing the neighbors letters to see if they know?

Building a relationship with a small bank and hope to receive a approval letter sometime next week.

Just keep sending out a high quantity of letters!

Probably yours - but I would cover my butt with a certified letter mailed to the prior owner and wholesaler both with a reasonable time limit.

How would I go about this without providing a non generic pre-approval letter?

Means you'll need a signed letter that states you can do that.4)Get it to title quick or do your own due diligence5) Call the lender and negotiate 6) Close the deal and send me 3%!

Still trying to determine that).Some moderate termite issues were found just today, requiring $750 for a full treatment before they can issue a termite letter.According to my FHA lender and her underwriter...this termite inspection / letter should be acceptable.
