Hughes Private Capital offered a fund which was Guardian Fund LLC that purchased properties.

It does have nice destination and asan owner i like the private beach (not so good for the public). 

One of our biggest clients plans on building more up there and meeting another GC or two would certainly make sense.

Private lenders can't do it.

I think that the biggest take-away for me in the project is to avoid crawl spaces - I am claustrophobic and hate to enter crawl spaces anymore. 

May be expensive but they are dedicated to private lender law, securities law and creditors' rights.

You may want to find a private lender, sell something, etc…The mortgage lates are going to keep you from any bank/mortgage products

However, understanding their requirements—such as down payment percentages, reserve requirements, and loan-to-value ratios—is key to getting approved.One of the biggest advantages of working with portfolio lenders is their ability to fund deals that traditional banks might pass on.

Another option is to explore private lenders or HELOCs to cover the equity.

I agree with @John Underwood that insurance is the biggest hurdle.
