After you paid them, they often refuse to release this information to you.

I was able to complete a convention refinance and get the hard money loan paid off.

@Nicholas SchwarzYou would need to know the interest rate for the loan term to understand the interest paid over the three years.

My offer includes proof of funds, pre approval from HML lender and I am usually near asking price and many times over it.

Only one applicant at a time goes through the paid application/background check. 

But I bought a rental property using my HELOC, I paid for everything using the HELOC. 

Somewhere in there you hopefully get paid.

What you care about is if they can afford the house (we usually look to see their monthly income exceeds 3x what the monthly price is) & if they have a down payment.We use @Paul Ritter and do a full tenant screening for all of our buyers prior to accepting them.Hope that helps,Chris Pre

I now use them for my annual filings and agent of process for about $300/yr and had them create my second LLC (and paid them)

that may be more hassle than a complete exit.Why is he willing to pay much more than you paid?
