The private money I have access to is still cutting checks and actively closing deals despite covid-19.

The private money I have access to is the same way, plus the property needs to be NOO.

Each cabin has a year round, unobstructed, stunning lake view, with access to the water and dock. 

Zillow, Realtor.com, or any site with access to the MLS listings is a great resource. 

I have access to private money that will fund up to 90% of the purchase price. 

Land with water access is more expensive and more valuable.5.

You should be grateful to have a tennat that has access to equipment like that.

But since there is a limit to how much money the bank has access to....their rate will be higher...and usually a shorter term.

I want to move a bit closer to the area we are looking at so that I have a better access.  

You'll never get the contact info of appraiser because that goes against bank rules, but you can group email the loan officer to the property manager in a thread to schedule time for appraiser to do an inspection & take photos of occupied property.Certain documents require access to a printer so you need to handsign & scan documents & email them to bank.
