Like in Oregon you need a developers license or a GC license if your going to remodel and sell a home to the public or build new construction.. and the Developers license must be in the name of the owner of the dirt or lot. so for me I have multiple developers licenses as we have multiple LLC that build and sell. each one I have to have a bond for insurance and the cost of getting the license at the state.. although no test or anything.but I still have to hire a licensed GC to build it.. a licensed GC can build and sell and does not need a developers license.

Some good responses already in this thread but I would add it definitely depends on the loan product you are looking for - Conventional for example is going to be pretty much the same everywhere so it makes sense to pick one upfront sooner rather than later - more sophisticated commercial deals, the cost/process is more lengthy and consuming, so its probably a negative for you the borrower if you try to shop during/after the process (just adding time and costs).For Non-QM/DSCR it can certainly make sense to shop but best to do it all upfront before really starting the process (a term sheet etc.) because there are a lot of factors that can cause it to backfire (rates can change, long-term relationships, extra switching costs, etc.) that probably cost more than you'd gain
