My wife and I don't want to follow the scale up construction company model (we already did and it wasn't the best).We do a lot of labor on our projects and are looking in to the future and realizing our bodies will not hold out over time.

You might be able to get your lender to do a partial release of the lot from the mortgage.

This is a natural pressure release valve for high rent and prices. 

Considering the fact the prop is vacant at "not so ideal" time of the year to be re-leased.

Most contracts are 30-days which should not be a problem to close on time even if you reach out to a lender a few days after getting the contract.Most lenders will provide 100% of the rehab funds, but they are not provided up front as they are released in draws.

Holdback of capital improvement budget to be released in draws as work is completed per Wellings’ unilateral approval plus annual budget approval rights5.

From what I can tell, FTF did a poor job of monitoring the progress of the project and released funds to the developer when they shouldn't have.  

Many lenders have brutal release fees to break up a blanket loan these days; many are 125% of the allocated principal balance.  

You wonder some days if there secretly a cyborg, some special DARPA top secret project putting chatGPT into a human looking body to see how quickly ai can take over an industry, lol.

They have not released any of my rent payments that they have collected.
