What are the steps we need to make sure we are completing for a cash offer and purchase?

@Wayne Brooks I did not understand the technical details of what he says the problem is, so I won't try to say things that are probably wrong :) He said there's a hole in the line, but that he still isn't able to see everything and it could still be much worse.I completely understand that this can happen.

I went to get a building permit from the town as the "home owner" and they said that since I purchased the home under my LLC, they want me to sign an affidavit stating that I intend to live in the home once the project is complete.

It seems like it'd be an effective strategy if I built a brand in my small town and surrounding areas where people knew they could send me a lead of someone they knew, to make some quick cash if I closed on that deal.Assuming this IS completely legal to do, it leads me to a couple different questions:1.

So yes, they got the property but it was half finished or completely gutted, they couldn't find anyone to work on it, and much of what had been done hadn't been permitted so they found the properties that they received as security pretty much useless or requiring so much money to finish that it caused them to go bankrupt.   

@Danny Webber Yes, guess that was a bit vague.I am flipping houses in south and central Austin with the exit price generally sub $400k and doing complete remodels.

However, we completely renovated one unit, made exterior updates and small updates to other units (paint & a/c work), increased rents, and the neighborhood has undergone some big positive changes.

after calling them literally every day (not an exaggeration) for an update, i resorted to calling the service rep that came out directly and only with him on the line and three-way calling HMS with me on the line using his service professional portal did we get the answer that they claimed they completed the replacement and closed the file. 

I wouldn't start on any interior work until the foundation work is completed.

Unless I am completely doing something wrong...the search function kinda sucks.
