Own a house outright & need a lender--is there ANYONE that can help?? PLEASE????

[Laura Krukowski]

Here's my scenario.

My husband & I are renovating a house that we own outright (approximate worth is 350k).....we are interested in taking money to finish the renovation & also we have an interest in buying another investment property. (total approx 200k)

We cannot find anyone to loan us money (ok we tried like 2 places)---I just never thought this would be so difficult because we own a house outright & we are still getting turned down because of 2 late mortgage payments when my husband was injured & out of work for 5 months last year.

We both work and made enough money on our first flip to buy the 350k house outright.

I am a real estate agent & our area is very rural. 

I am hoping I can connect with someone who may be able to help! 

Are you out there? Thanks!!!!
