Or did the buyers authorize Escrow to pre release to the builder ????

Thankfully we are commercial bank clients so our rates are as low as you can get in the market place for anyone who is not Lennar or DR horton or those types.Do you pre-sell houses without hedging a percentage of the supply?  

Sounds like you're asking for a private lender to go into second position to convert equity into cash behind an existing loan on these properties. 

Insurance would cover it, I would pay the deductible, and no assets would be lost.If you are in an area like San Diego where people are more likely to sue, a judge is more likely to find you guilty, and the payout is expected to be higher, you may consider an umbrella insurance policy.

A DSCR loan is going to require more down, have high fees at closing, a higher interest rate, a pre-payment penalty, and will require you to have cash reserves that you likely don't have at the moment.

Would your STR business even exist without Airbnb?  

Existing-home sales, for example, hit their lowest level in nearly 30 years in 2024, with just 4.06 million transactions.

Having watched many prior co-workers get paid, cash their check at the casino, and promptly deposit it all into a slot machine I can tell you with pretty good certainty that casinos don't have a positive effect on disposable income and good use of the existing income in the area surrounding :)Are there solid local employers OTHER than the casino in a 15-minute drive? 

Quote from @Shawn Questa: Hi all,I am curious what some of the Pros would do to Help a Seller in this situation while making a Deal happen.I found a 200+ day old MLS Listing where the Agent said the Seller is in Financial Ruin, hasn't Paid the Mortgage in a year, owes about 180k on an approx. 210k House and multiple Buyers have backed out.I don't know how someone could not Pay their Note in a year and not at least be in Pre-foreclosure. 

I have spent the last few years working in the Pre-Fab ADU space and now working with a company called Live Near Friends and help people buy real estate with the purpose of living closer to the people they care about.
