Your instinct to speak directly to the PM and not through your realtor is spot on.

@Helena Goyvaerts send me a Direct Message and I will be able to help and point you in the right direction.Thank you

Several of the contractors offer helical piers but don’t seem to think they’d be a more cost effective option - we can directly ask about this again.  

That's only one idea, but I'm learning other ways to leverage OPM.Again thank you -- that definitely helped point me a bit more into the right direction!

If I understand correctly; the seller would receive 80% ($40,000) directly from the mortgagee at closing and would enter into a personal agreement with me for the 20% down payment ($10,000) in which he would be reimbursed separately from my mortgage payments at a separately agreed upon rate and term?

In a small town of Alaska and at the peak of COVID there was no Negotiation at that time haha.
