@Matthew Paul my first broker required all new agents to be in the office cold calling FSBO, expired listings, and preferred farm area for several hours x times a week.

The only challenge I faced was explaining how my deal worked to the seller and the loan officer.

Lots of properties are acquired with an owner-occupied loan in a 1031 exchange, especially primary homes that have will have an ADU for rent or that contain a large office space for the homeowner/taxpayer. 

We are practically neighbors, I worked for Schaumburg PD for 11 years before coming out to Elgin PD and just retired within the last year after 30 years of Police/Fire Dispatching.

Again If you want more one on one info, you can either message me directly or call my office.

Also, one of my best officers is in NC, she's a Certified Exchange Specialist, and I'm sure she'd be happy to be a resource for you/your clients moving forward. 

Police went there and said one of the roommates saw her yesterday so there wasn’t much they could do.

I work remotely, always have my phone handy, and love the number side of real estate so I think this would be a great fit for me and something that I could see myself doing long-term.The only downside I see is that I work 8-4 so couldn't spend that time in an office with other brokers or doing real work for clients, I would be working after my day job.

The builder will need to be approved by the Bank/Lender or the bank/lender can provide you an already approved builder they have used before in that County.Once the builder is approved the Bank/Lender will have a initial meeting and set up an agreed upon draw phase based on the work that will be completed in phases.Best thing to do is have a conversation with a seasoned Banker or Loan officer to start an application and set up step by step plan.Feel free to reach out if you have any questions I am always happy to help and talk REI.

Others may have a different opinion, but outside of a seller carry back up to 90% CLTV (still require some skin in the game, unless you go true hard money) 2nd liens on real estate for purchase transactions in the manner you're seeking are very difficult to get a loan against, whether it be a secondary market lender (private equity fund, balance sheet lender, family office, etc), and usually are seeking larger transcations ($1-3MM +) in this space, and are still capped at a max 75-80% CLTV (still wanting skin in the game).# 4 usually requires more explanation as its newer to the market (DM me if interested in discussing these options further), but all 1-4 appear to be potential options for you based on the limited details.
