Here are few tips on how to avoid this problem on your flips:1) Create a file folder for you flip (both electronically and in paper form), so you get and maintain the proper documents stated below.2)  Draft a summary general contractor (if you are the GC) plan or have your GC prepare a plan on what work will be done before you start it.3) Identify and create a list of all subcontractors that will be used.4)  Identify all materials that will be needed or used for your flip.5) Prepare all lien waivers for all subcontractor and materials either before the process starts (this is ambitious - but is a great idea)  or at the time of paying your subcontractors.  6) Lastly, get all lien waivers to your attorney prior to the actual closing.

I think if you structure the file fluidly to anticipate all these areas the underwriter in most cases will sufficiently be able to document the file with just the letter I mentioned above to proceed to docs.The self sufficiency rule above is the hardest because in the past all 4 units had to be greater than the full PITIA (principal/interest/taxes/insurance/assessments) but recently FHA changed this rule to 75% of the rental incomes of all 4 units has to be greater than the PITIA which is a much more restrictive rule basically forcing out properties in markets which  have lower rent to value ratios like most parts of orange county, most of los angeles,  most of seattle, Austin core down town areas, Dallas core areas, and other more expensive areas.
