Or, you can get 1.8x the rent now, and start working on getting it rented back out.So, 1.8x the rent now, or the possibility of getting some amount, sometime in the future.I'm not a lawyer, and this isn't legal advice, but I did stay in a holiday inn express last night

It's interesting to me how one person can say in 2-3 sentences, what another has tried, but failed to express in many.  

They also have others who are not franchisees yet but who have expressed interest owning in a certain state or location.

I've got the largest lot locked down and I can put 4 units on it, so I dont *need* the additional lots, but having them included will make this project a lot more attractive.The owner of the adjacent property to the one I have under contract expressed an interest in selling because they are moving next month and had planned to keep their home as a rental.

I expressed my sorry and asked about what items were taken.

I am overwhelmed by the wealth of responses here and just wanted to express my gratitude to @Jay Hinrichs @Ann Bellamy @Ted Schmidt @Jeff S @Bill Gulley for sharing so much of their detailed knowledge and experience with me.

There's gotta be a word combination besides thank you to express my gratitude but until I find it, I hope that my sincerest thank you will suffice.

Our goal is to finance the repairs using a combination of the following methods:HELOC - I know finding a bank to do this on an investment property will be tough, but we have good relationships with several local credit unions and little banks and I have faith we could get it donePersonal lines of credit / loans - we currently have several lines of credit (~ 60k available at interest rates varying from 8% to 25%)"Borrowing from individuals" - we have several friends and family members who have expressed interest in offering us cash loans ranging from 10k-25k with interest that would be lower than a bank but a higher return than they'll get from their savings accounts The ideal plan would be to find a bank willing to immediately offer a HELOC up to the full repairs amount and finance them all with low interest.

I had one buyer express interest but he does not have all $35,000 to pay for it in cash but he said he could pay $20,000 for it cash.
