A seller cannot dictate credit guidelines to a lender, and the lender needs written guidelines and credit matrix and their own process for discovering the credit worthiness of any applicant.

That community had a rental registration program which was when it was discovered.

Plus the landlord said he discovered they were hiding a dog (golden retriever) there exactly 1 week ago, but suspects the dog has been there for years.

Hi there, discovered this forum last night and found it amazing.

Seemed easier that way to be able to close quickly (which I just discovered that some sellers may be willing to give an even better deal if you can close quickly!

In doing so, you may discover whether you enjoy flipping and/or have any aptitude for it.

That just isnt fair, I just cannot seem to win. 

And then what happens is the lender "discovers" that five figure transfer tax at the last minute, and only then does the consumer learn that the basis for them picking that "lower closing cost" option was completely bunk!

Share your wins and losses so others can learn from your experience just like you have done.  

If there is a leak, they will discover it quickly and prevent too much damage.
