I would get on the phone with a local lender through a local bank. 

Quote from @Drew Sygit:My apologies w/my earlier post (below), I was on my phone and not laptop so it wasn't tagging.I will if I may add some additional thoughts...1) The appraisals I've seen in these markets are no where near Zillow estimates. 

The good subs in your area will likely have plenty of work already and may not even return phone calls.

They want to pick up the phone and call or text and get an instant response from their cleaners.

But this one doesn't return investor phone calls or request for financials.

Contractor burnout is another concern.Owners like to think it's so easy to just pick up the phone or send a mass email to get contractors beating down their door to give them a bid and hopefully get the job.Doesn't work that way!

One potential mentor I had one phone call with and never contacted him again. 

If you insist, try skip tracing if you have one of their phone numbers.

What's the best email or phone to contact you? 

I literally laughed through the phone at his suggestion, because I was broke, in debt, and in every way and unqualified borrower, and the lending environment in 2012 was probably stricter than it had been since the invention of the 30yr mortgage.
