I will definitely give them a call tomorrow as we are in the process of selecting 3 GC´s to check the property and submit bids.

Once you finish remodeling it you can decide if you want to repeat the process but I will assume you decide to repeat the process.Prior to moving out and repeating this process refinance it (not using the VA/FHA loan). 

I'm in the process of hunting for my first investment property - I'm in talks with a realtor who has basically said to let him know what properties interest me and we can do more research from there (ironing out the costs I'm going to be looking at if I were to purchase the property).

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, but especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

We enjoyed the process, kept our first as a rental and are at a place where we can begin investing and are interested in either a flip to sell or flip to own.It seems like everything in the marketplace is for cash sales and while we have about $30K at our disposal, it seems that this would cover the rehab budget in the deals we have been interested in.

and you can learn a lot about the process and penalties involved in complaints like these.

After their process the loan they don't go to the closing and check to see where the money actually came from.

I am less confused about measuring the return and whether it is a good deal or not than I am the process of negotiating a deal with a seller in which I plan to approach investors about. 

I have been trying both and am still on the fence but am leaning towards Unitdash as it allows me better tracking of bi-weekly payments, will mail letters for you, and doesn't require such an in depth set up process.

Unfortunately if you just look at the data in their web interface, the CC processing or related fee is not reflected.
