    Have you posted in DFW & loans forum - these guys sound dodgy, why didn't they want you to record their phone calls? Probably because they were skating on legally thin ice.

    Anyway these places normally buy your house at 70-90% of it's market value. Some charge you for the survey with no intention of buying the place - be careful. Sure someone will be along with more advice.
