Greg If you are referring to hare money that is not what I used. 80% was financed through the bank and 10% debt held by the seller. 

For reference, my property was only about 90 miles from Peoria.

The best references I could find would be from the Federal Reserve Banks themselves. 

its unfortunately not going to be as easy as googling, but that might get you a list to start with and refine.  

It seems to me that this book is a little outdated, however, still full of incredibly useful information.im sure finding networking groups in Las Vegas will be a fairly easy task.Thank you for the sugguestions!

Otherwise, if the numbers make sense and your credit is good, it should be easy to find a lender.

When vetting contractors, check if they’re licensed and insured, ask for at least 3 references and call them, and get detailed written estimates and timelines.

It's always going to be easy to look back and wish you would've invested in year X.100%!!
