Typical bank draw cycles are at least 30 days plus a few days for the bank to process.If your contract stated payment immediately upon completion then you have a solid argument.

As I do not make much to put a whole lot for down payments.

Myself and my Wife currently own a home (in my wife's name) that I make the payment on.

Some people look at cash flow as the renter giving you back your own money (down payment) a little at a time.

As an example, let's say the person is about to go to foreclosure because they got behind in their payments due to a job loss for 4 months, but have now found employment, but can't get the back payments caught up.  

It sounds like you are getting too soft maybe with rent payments.

We first reached out to originators for Freddie and Fannie and were told that the deal looked great and we should be able to get the following terms:-Non recourse loan, 80% ltv-30 year amortization-10 year fixed rate-4.25-4.5% interest rate-Interest only payments for the first two yearsFreddie has since come back and passed on the deal due to our market being too small and the age of the property (1984).

nope, these two actually have the documented ability to make the payments at a reasonable debt-to-income ratio.I'm coming up with ballpark $345k/mo PITI (my homeowner's insurance assumption might not be accurate, I didn't pull the actual property tax bill, and I don't know if there is an HOA so I left it at $0).

She was never late, but the mortgage payment was high for her, so she has now done a modification using the FHA-HAMP program to lower the mortgage payment while she is ramping up income (having been a stay at home mom for the last 15 years).
