See if they will pre approve you for a line of credit.  

@John BowensAre you loaning from a pre-tax 401K or did you convert to Roth and then loaning from there?

Starting the pre-approval process and it's been easy so far, but I do like to hear from people who have used a company before.

I would say that any project that beats pre-pandemic NOI budgets six months out of six is one to be proud of.

@Alan Robert Litz Yep I’m planning to live in the property, I’ve already been pre approved and talked with 2 lenders.

I assume you currently have a residential mortgage that does not have a pre-payment penalty.

I think you're right, it has always been a beneficial trade for both parties.I have not seen the inside yet, but the owner said he is more than welcome to show me once I have a pre-approval.

No fees, no pre-pay.

For the past 4 years I've been focused full-time on the niche of pre-existing non-conforming land parcels and/or land that is considered undevelopable.Basically, I focus on rehabbing lots instead of rehabbing houses and I have virtually no competition up here in the New England Area.Is anyone else here doing this?  

I would say get connected with a local agent and also set up with a lender that has you pre approved to make it super easy making offers.
