Hi Kyle,This is the most common question I get asked.Don't waste your time because nobody in their right mind is going to fund 100% of your project.In order to get into new deals, build, buy, flip etc. you need to have some skin in the game.A bridge loan to get the cash out of the property on the market is possible, that can then help get you the cash needed and start this new build.

I agree with Michael Baum: read all the suggestions here: great info.The general theme is, whether it's your cleaner, your handyman or a responsible neighbor, you need willing and able "boots on the ground", eyes on the property and someone local with both common sense and authority to act on your behalf and/or your instructions.My 2 cents,Mike
