Ben, I own a lending company that offers loans for investors. The only money ever requested up front prior to closing is for the appraisal. We provide fix and flip loans as well as DSCR loans. I'd be happy to further discuss.
@Ben Grubner In a very limited circumstance we require a deposit. Yours being one of them because it is a line of credit, this is not a typical loan product. We can confirm that your line of credit has passed the first line of underwriting! We look forward in getting this to the finish line for you.
I was supposed to close yesterday and the Notary cam for $4k more of what I agreed. They expect me to sign that without disclosing the change of amount to close.

Thank you for the feedback Giannina. Its unfortunate that your closing costs increased by $3,546 in order to fund your tax and insurance escrow accounts. No lender fees were added between your last talk with Michael and the closing table. Taxes and insurance are not something lenders can control. We do wish you the best in your future endeavors.
That is NOT CORRECT - taxes and insurance were already INCLUDED. I have already contacted a lawyer. And this is what my broker wrote yesterday and your company has not answer.

Michael and Mino Lending and team, please provide Giannina with an explanation as to what happened and why there was a non-disclosure increase in funds the day of closing. She is now on the hook for the $1,500 EMD and she should not have to pay this. Please figure out how your team will compensate her for this fee
On 1-4 Unit residential properties, the only lender fees you will pay before closing is the appraisal and sometimes the credit report. Everything else is paid at closing.
On 5+ Unit and Commercial loans, you may need to do a refundable good faith deposit. This is a deposit, not a fee, and is meant to stop shoppers. You will see the deposit reflected on your closing statement. If the loan is denied the lender will refund you this deposit.
