What is the range of fees typically paid to a hard money vs a private lenderThank you,Matt

I'm sure this doesn't typically happen but the guy walked through, said everything looked good and charged us $350 to write a letter to the inspector saying he certifies the concealed work. 

You might also try someone like TD Ameritrade or Schwab which is really an investment account to trade stocks, but they typically offer some banking services as well. 

You could house hack temporarily and then move out, typically a lender will require you to live there for 12 months or some other specified amount of time.

What do you mean "could expire in 2020" are these Tenant options, they typically have to provide written notice. 

A lot of people who rent short term in the high end condos rent every year, and typically have right of first refusal to book their time for the next year. 

Is it typical for larger homes to  command a higher LTV(80-85%)  from cash buyers since the potential profit is larger dollar wise?

They typically have one or two inspectors which means your plan and your inspections can easily drag out. 

Does anyone know if this amount is typical.

Not a developer, but I think typically builders don’t want to have more than 25% of the finished product into the lot costs.....seems like your purchase price is too close to the individual lot values, after subdivision.
