Are there any strategies here to utilize bank funds for our project?

@Laurens Van swol a few banks that we've worked with in the past allow you to close in your personal name.

if so what bank? 

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

I don't mean to be a "stick in the mud", but successful SubTo is treated very differently than a bank loan investment property.I've done Subject To for a very long time, been sued over some pretty ridiculous accusations and have had to sue to clear up title.

I signed up with them about 3 to 4 months ago, then found out how expensive the loan was to get going with them and told them that I would self finance it instead but they had to cancel the loan first...they use a company called Special Financing Company..the person I spoke to at REI his name is Paul, he said he would take care of canceling the loan, but a month later I realized that they were pulling $599 out of my bank account.

Many community banks will give you credit for proforma rents.  

Would I go to the current owners bank to see if they would allow a subject to loan? 

You can generally achieve better bank leverage and has a lower barrier of entry.

One thing to be aware of, and I hope that this never happens to any of you guys, is my connected bank link somehow failed or became disconnected?
