When a home has been purchased by an investor, LLC or otherwise and attempting to resale property after improvements have been made. Ensure a min. of 91 days has lapsed from the day of recording and the day the case # is ordered. Less than 91 days is viewed as a flip and loan will be declined until seasoning requirement is met. Even if the 91 day min has been met. If the underwriter views the increase of the new sales price as excessive, he/she may request a second appraisal and invoice receipts validating the increased sales price. To remove all flipping concerns, allow 6 months seasoning prior to re-sale of property. If less than 6 months you can still get the deal done, but be prepared to provide additional collateral information if called upon.
