I've bought several rental properties in cash, but in my own name initially just to save my wife from having to take off work to sign all the mountains of paperwork. 

Im just not sure if i submit it now or after they get me the official paperwork of financials, rent rolls etc. ?

The CofO paperwork is very easy and quick, so this is just another lame excuse sent down from the bureaucrats.You can give your sob story over and over, but in the end, they just don't care and unfortunately, during COVID, you can't walk into the office and speak with a supervisor as I had to do almost every time pre-covid to get my CofO.

The buyer accepted my offer and now all the paperwork begins.

You do not need to screen them or submit new paperwork with ID.

The former requires more periodic paperwork and filings (i.e. operating costs) as well as a "reasonable salary." 

Just the cost of getting the Land Trust paperwork created the first time. 

It will save youv lots of paperwork and money. 

The Contractor needs to understand the different versions of the 203k, the timelines, paperwork, payment process, guidelines, etc. 

You are subject to paperwork, an inspection and they will review your lease.
