Letter from my banker of 25 years explaining how many deals we have done in the last 10 years and average balances carried in their institution.4.

The hardest part is just being disciplined enough to send letters out and follow up.

We put a thorough description in our welcome letter, our digital guidebook and our hardcopy guidebook, that explains the pool temperature situation.  

If you sent the letter certified mail to their last known address or the forwarding address they gave you and they returned it, keep it unopened. 

If not, how can I go about obtaining something like that or can I even obtain a soft proof of funds letter?

Every day for weeksI'm not recommending this for anyone, but I would stop at obviously abandoned properties that had potential and wander around, looking in windows and sometimes going into the house - through an 'unlocked' rear door of course :-)Sometimes the windows are boarded up and you cannot get a view of the inside....then it's just your knowledge and your gut once again.Go to the County and look up the owner....send them a nice letter....even make a dollar offer if you feel so inclined. 1 in 10 might respond.This is the way to find deals with a lot of equity potential IMHO. 

Lenders may provide a Letter of Interest and this will give you a soft loan commitment from the lender.

@J DubsIf you are not currently a remote employee, lenders are going to be looking for an offer letter in Florida, that details your start date, employment terms, etc.

Document EVERYTHING... every conversation, every contact, every document from the remediation company etc etc etc.Then I would send him a certified letter that states all necessary precautions, accommodations and solutions were done.

If they caused you damages due to their violations of rules governing licensed brokers, you may be able to make a claim through the Real Estate Recovery Fund.2) either you or your attorney send an official termination of services letter (if you haven't already), wherein you need to demand that they remove listings, return to you your property they are holding, disburse your money to you by a date certain. 3) if they fail to comply with your demand, contact an attorney to prosecute the remedy.You can attempt to re-list your property yourself or with a new management company, but you may run into problems with listing websites when they see an existing listing for the same property.
