I realized at midnight last night, that I'm fuzzy on exactly how my lender does the rehab approval process - does he use my "vision" for the rehab, and my scope of work, and my contractor bids along with his appraisers ARV to see if it works, or does the lender have their own "minimum standard" scope of work that they will instruct the contractors to bid on, and if that fits, I'm approved (and stuck, if I only have a Mortgage Contingency)? 

Quote from @Jerel Ehlert: You should do all the due diligence you would as if you were going to be buying, fixing, flipping the property yourself with your own money - because if the borrower fails and you have to foreclose, this is what you will be doing.Borrower should be paying the fees for appraisal, inspection, title policy for lender, and attorney's fees for drafting.As an attorney, I drafted hundreds of doc sets for closings in Texas and the rest is specifically limited to practices in Texas.In TX, my doc sets include a Warranty Deed with Vendor's Lien, promissory note, deed of trust (the lien instrument), lender's instructions to the title company, attorney letter of non-representation, and either 1) a personal guaranty (if an entity borrower) or 2) a business purpose affidavit (if borrower is/are individual(s)). 

Did 10 years commissioned service as a Space Officer / Satellite Vehicle Operator, Air Education Training Command Space 100 Instructor, and Lastly 3 years as a Politico/Military Affairs Officer (and project manager) in Europe. 

I'm not sure who they learned from, but they received good instruction because when I buy houses from them the process is efficient and professional.

It’s less than $5 (I don’t make anything off it) to see if you like my teaching style and desire additional instruction.

I was able to get a hold of one of the agents, henceforth referred to as Agent A, who, after some back and forth, succeeded in correcting the mistake, retroactively crediting my principal with what it would have been had Dominion taken my payments as instructed to begin with.After this, and without my consent, Dominion suddenly transferred my loan to another lender.

If not that is probably why as per her instruction to be added to the mailing list in the post above your first one.

Once you have selected an insurance company and policy, the insurance agent or broker will help you complete the necessary paperwork and provide you with instructions on how to pay your premium.It's important to note that insurance companies may have different requirements for accepting homes into their coverage.

Instructors are a wealth of knowledge and you can propel yourself forward when armed with the right education. 

That's in company with your instructors with whom you will likely have personal contact.
