I financed this deal using private/hard money.

I would take out a private loan on the paid off property to get the other one squared away

Could these waits be mitigated by going the hard/private money route?

@John Lasher If you are still looking to spend $20k-$30K for a coach, I would be happy to take you up on that offer :) For full disclosure,  I will share with you precisely what you can learn online/ perhaps even entirely through these BiggerPockets Forums but that doesn't address the reason why most are still unable to purchase larger assets: creditworthiness and capital relationships.

I just can’t imagine how everyday people spend this much money on pipe.I don’t think insurance covers any of the foundation repair, also wonder if insurance will cover any of the sewer line repair work?

Based on what my real estate agent thinks that this quote will be, roughly, and the after repair value, it looks like I could buy this property in cash, spend a month or two fixing the damage, and then put a mortgage for roughly 1.6x what I paid for it and thus have a cash flowing property at a few hundred dollars per month and a little more money in my bank account ready for a down payment on the next deal.
