However, if the owner lives in Cuyahoga County or a contiguous county, the owner may be listed as the local agent in charge.

Focus on identifying promising neighborhoods in the north or east bay by leveraging your husband’s contractor network, local real estate agents, and online deal-finding platforms.

Should I reach out to local agents, wholesaler like New Western?

I’m looking to connect with local investors to exchange insights, experiences, and potential opportunities.Thank you, and I look forward to building meaningful connections! 

I'm sure some local banks will do higher especially with a strong relationship but don't think I will fall into that category.

Avoid PMI and then go to a local credit union and get a heloc after closing to gift the money back.Have this as a tool in your tool belt but pursue use of the 3.5% FHA, knowing that you will be at a competitive disadvantage if you are competing with non FHA buyers, then you can call in the favor from your gift person.Just know that if someone gifts you down payment money, your bank will require them to sign a letter stating that it is in fact a gift that doesn’t need to be paid back.
