Not a good sign to me.

A hard money lender has you sign a form that says that the money they are lending on is not a primary home because they can’t lend at hard money rates on a primary residence.

For this reason you may want to stick extra money you have into a publicly traded reit instead of trying to buy real estate right now.The way around this loan dimemma would be to have someone (like a friend or family member) co sign the loan, which means if you don’t pay the debt they’d be liable for it.

Going into the bank with a signed lease will also help your chances.   

Is it standard that an agent ask for you to sign forms BEFORE viewing a property?

I own 7 units (3 houses and a 4 plex) and I'm getting ready to sign my first commercial loan to complete a BRRRR.  

So if you have a job offer letter that has been signed by your future employer then we can use that income to qualify you for the loan.Ah, the good ol' FHA "Mortgage Insurance". 

@Jimmy Dudley  its sort of depends on where you live and closing customs.for instance on the west coast there is no such thing as a wet closing.. or having all parties come to the closing table.. simply never happens.so when we sell something here I usually go in and sign ( if I want to I can also just have them e mail docs and I sign and they send a courier to my office.. )this is done 2 to 10 days before closing.. then the buyers come in the 3 days before usually because they have their 3 day right of recession ( owner occ mortgages)  then the loan package goes back to the lender.. then the title company has to record in the morning.. and has to send recording numbers to the lender then the lender funds.. then the next day once this is done title company will cut checks or wire proceeds.. for us 100% wires we never get checks.. its always kind of comical when I am sitting in my office in Oregon closing a deal in some east coast state and the closing attorney sends me an email with the time of the closing and wants to know if that time is good for me like I am really going to be there..
