There are rules and situations unique to each state and that is why you want to go with a local lender vice someone just reaching out to you telling you they can do it. 2) Better recourse if the lender screws something up: a local lender has more skin in the game so to speak as if they screw something up their name will be mud to local real estate agents in the deal.

You are better off finding a good agent (this is a difficult task).

There might be larger buildings available but I don’t follow that market too much through the MLS, only some NH Landlord Facebook groups which are both owner friendly and agent friendly.

Typically when you see "cash only" the agent doesn't believe the property can pass a home inspection which isn't relevant for construction loans in most instances and there are plenty of banks, hard money lenders etc. who offer construction financing on distressed buildings.

If the latter, depending on the jurisdiction, YOU may need to be a licensed real estate agent/broker to engage in what’s commonly called “wholesaling” but is actually “flipping”. 

I told everyone about it for three months, then one day, an agent came to me with exactly what I was looking for and it was one of my best investments.Spend some time learning to manage well.

Now, my kids are 12, 15, and 15 (twins), and I'm an active real estate agent in Pinehurst, NC. 

There is no other way to get correct comps unless you know an agent who knows how to really run comps.

He's an investor friendly agent there!
