Alternatively you can use private or hard money for both the purchase and the rehab but you’ll most likely need to have skin in the game and put down 20-30%.

I tried to contact Gwinnett county clerk of court but they were unable to provide me with the information or other alternatives.

Alternatively you could passively invest the 200K in more liquid investments if you think you know something nobody else does: i.e what will happen to the Bay Area real estate in the next 5 years!

I suggest trying to find any other alternative to the one you laid out.

My insurance agent suggested liability umbrella over my vacation rental property, "life," and my single family long term rentals with American Alternative Insurance Corporation.  

Another alternative is present your case to a local aggressive media type and see if they might give you some visibility on the complaint of builder vs the small guy. 

Obviously, we are looking at raising rents but we are also looking at "Rubs" Ratio Utility Billing system as an alternativ e.

Ask yourself if you're willing to put in that kind of effort to make things work or else consider the alternative options where you won't have to.

Or, in the alternative, if you know of someone who's bought in Denver or Colorado Springs, ask them who they used.

Getting a HELOC or portfolio loan in place is a great alternative to liquidation or a mortgage for a bunch of reasons.
