Docs can be sent via email or fax.

I got on the phone and started making calls and sending emails trying to get started building my buyers list.

Not only would you have the document, you should get some education by the lawyer when he explains it to you too.Gary

I've been emailing the seller's agent, who has been somewhat candid with me, although she's stopped short of saying that he's in over his head.

By signing this document, the seller is simply saying, “Whatever interest I may have in this property (if any), I am now transferring it to the buyer.”

Unfortunately Chase has as of yet been unwilling to take the time to provide any documentation with regards to these issues (or so we are being told by the sellers REA).

I'm scared that if I don't properly document the living arrangement with this 'stranger' I might run into problems.

We did get a 5th, however, they required 25% down (some say it's now 30% down 6-10 from what I've read here), higher credit score, higher reserves (6 months on all properties, I believe), and be prepared to jump through many hoops documentation-wise.

Dawn A. why don't you just email them they didn't get the rental?

So, I can't speak to that...But, I don't believe that FHA and conventional underwriters will consider a seller-initiated appraisal in lieu of that previous purchase price when evaluating flip criteria.Regardless, being successful at any of these things seems unlikely, and I wouldn't suggest hinging your entire resale strategy on the hope that an underwriter is willing to be lenient or accept documentation other than the previous purchase price.
