The easiest way to find and connect with wholesalers is either bigger pockets or by googling "sell my house fast in (town name)" although that may cost them a click for google ads.

let the title companies handle it like we do.. they are not mandatory in our area .. although they are for PM's 

I've heard a lot about Kansas City, so I'd love to learn more. 

Rates are set to go down, although not as fast as hoped. 

I'd recommend looking at costs. your build cost is going to be well over other homes because of the fixed costs like slab, Hvac, roof, etc. check the market drivers and weight the benefits of short term versus long term. long term is no furniture and help pays mortgage but at this size it doesn't really cover everything. we didn't find a lot of economies of scale in single family detached. can you build more than one unit?

I have a mortgage with NBC and will be using them more this year.If you'd like, I'd be happy to connect you with my buddy Mark who can give you quotes on DSCR loans, and connect you with Jody Shaw @ NBC who can help drum you up some quotes and tactics on getting a loan with them. 

Especially in a commercial lease, I'd make sure you feel very comfortable with the terms or have an attorney review them... not just because you will own the building, but since you'll be living right above them.

If not, it's important (although not absolutely necessary) to have experience to gain their trust. 

I'd love to listen!

They have been managing fine, although not too busy, I guess because of the market.
