@Lori Hayward Underwriter can require you to document (with bills) the rehab to justify the jump in value. It depends on what you bought for and what the sale price is.

@Jeffrey Young Are you familiar with 1031 exchange? Being that its an investment, 1031 is the best and only way for him to avoid capital gains tax and roll into a new purchase. The new property can't be a primary to qualify for 1031.
Happy to have a chat.

@Anthony Goulbourne As mentioned by Eric, your options will depend on if the property is a primary residence OR an investment. Also, the residential sq ft % has to be at least 51% to get any sort for 30 yr fixed rate. Else you are looking at commercial loan options, with short term and short amortization.

@Christina Venegas You can do a cross collateralized loan and use the equity in the current property. You would need a min of 3 properties to do that. You have one. You would have to buy 2.
Else, you can do a cash-out refi on the current property and use the cash for the purchase of the new one.

@Anthony Pitruzzello In your post you stated that insurance and taxes are escrowed. In this case all your daughter needs to do is make her monthly mortgage payment, which covers the money that goes into escrow. Doesn't matter how many times the loan servicing is transferred. She should NEVER be required to make any other payment.
I am assuming that the insurance policy she got during loan approval is in effect. The payment would have collected by title and title is responsible to send the payment to the insurance company. This is a many process and there could be an issue there, but its easy to fix. She can start with contacting the insurance company to make sure that the policy is in effect. If they say that they haven't received the payment, then she should call the title company to get the payment tracked down.
Most likely she is getting bombarded by scam mail. This is the unfortunate state of the industry.
Hope this helps you get to the bottom on this.
