When I first started, I had every intention of wholesaling in the US..in Austin, TX then Albany, NY.

I was obtaining a pre-qualification for a home loan, and was asked to sign the: Rate Lock Agreement,  Disclosure Notices, Servicing Disclosure Statement, Right to Receive Copy of Appraisal, Appraisal Delivery Timing Waiver, GFE Acknowledgment, Notice of Intent to Proceed, Flood Insurance Determination, Certification and Authorization, Transcript of Tax Return, Insurance Disclosure, Truth in Lending Disclosure, GFE, Housing Counseling Agencies Notice, Uniform Residential Loan Application.Should I sign these documents? 

These type of determinations often hang on the whims of neighbors and local elected officials, so knowing the landscape and having a consolidated strategy is paramount before you breath a word of your plans to anyone else.

I bought a 4/2 in Costa Mesa in 2011 as my primary residence with the intention of renting it out after 5 years.

(If I were to pick up the phone and call an appraiser that does appraisals for me, I'd be concerned that it might be a self-fulfilling prophecy, so I'm intentionally asking someone whose name I have never seen on an appraisal report that I ordered.

There is literal interpretation and there is intent behind the clause.

I use a simple letter of intent that just outlines what the deal is (just a letter that spells out the intent in regular English).  

Last year we purchased a property in Seattle with the intention of clearing the existing mobile home and building a 4 or 5 bedroom home to sell for a decent profit. 

Regardless of whether or not his intentions are malicious, a walk-through is, in my opinion, a key part of the vetting process as you should treat it like a walking interview.
