I have reached out to life insurance companies but they do not touch deals this small (at least the ones I spoke with do not) they like to be at $5-10,000,000 minimum. 

Just to touch the waters.

I'll be in touch.

Was hoping to get in touch with investors in the area to recommend contractors they have used in the past... or general advice.

Not to downplay a realtor, but in this transaction I would be getting in touch with a good real estate attorney, who has good and trustworthy title companies and keep the realtor out of it.

So now I'm calling all the QuickenLoans and Loan Depot's of country and no one will touch it because: A) Its not my primary residence B) I haven't owned it for a year C) The private lender isn't reporting the monthly payments to a credit bureau so I don't have a verifiable proof of payment D) Been doing AirBnB, so no lease (if I wanted to get 2nd home or rental property financing)Solutions I'm aware of: 1) Most loan officers have suggested I call a local credit union, which I have done> The credit unions are concerned because it's not my primary and I don't have  lease in place with proof of payments via bank statements.

Hello @Ryan Johnston, thank you for getting in touch.

Got 80k but I'm not trying to touch that unless I have too.

Hopefully we can keep in touch and motivate each other!

Touch base with a real estate agent and have her do comps for the house sight unseen.
