It seems like the LO's have no experience working with investors and are not very concerned with trying to make the numbers work.

Hey @Chi Lo - I actually have a video on my YouTube page about this (lookup ClosedByMo on YouTube).Regarding walls being damp and waterproofed, it means there needs to be waterproofing on the basement retainer walls (this is something you can do post-construction and the contractors would need to dig around the house exposing the basement/foundation to apply the waterproofing). 

@Yaniv KehatI'm an LO at a direct lender.

Sandwich LO are even better.First and foremost, NEVER combine the two into one contract as the seller.This topic is a seminar unto its own, in order to fully explain what I wrote above, and to understand the why and how. 

NC has many licensing restrictions so many lenders won't touch the state or require the partnering LO or broker to be licenced there. 

Lo and behold, many of said states will require the foreign entity to disclose owners/members and such, negating your desire for secrecy. 

The broker/LO misses something that gets caught late in the process and blows the loan up.

This story is almost identical to mine. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68037763/north-haven-lo...https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/68086281/seiler-tucker-...
