Teaching lumbering government agencies about innovative new business models is probably not a winning pursuit.  

If you want good contractors, get there early, as suggested, but not at any home improvement store, go to your local lumber yard. you will find that the contractors that value quality supplies ( even if it is just lumber) will shop there and have accounts there, even talk to the salespeople behind the desk, they know who is good.

This is when it got really exciting; the RE agent said she has a strong relationship with a RE investor that is looking to unload his portfolio (looking to retire soon) and that he has considered owner financing before.  

If wholesalers have properties, they are always looking for buyers to unload them to.   

We're unloading a couple duplexes this year if you're interested in picking up some more.

Spend an hour at Home Depot or Lowes in the lumber area and approach contractors.

Unload it now, make a small (but respectable) profit, and move on.

In fact, your local hardware store, or lumber supply or any number of trades may know of people to recommend.

I know there's a way but I'm new to all of this.To make the situation even better, I WORK FOR A LUMBER COMPANY THAT PROVIDES MATERIALS TO BUILDING PROFESSIONALS & HOME OWNERS.

Fire ratings, etc. may be an issue.Floors, joists, rafters, various load-bearing members, etc. will still be plywood, pine or some other lumber product.
