One time at one of his events they recommended attending a local church and finding people through the church community, which I thought was a great idea. 

I sold the house for a loss to the church next door, and they tore it down and made a parking lot.

Many college kids such as my friends and I did this, except we simply shared rent in a house that our church campus ministry owned.If you want ownership, odds are someone like your parent(s) will have to co-sign the loan for you. 

The original goal was to BRRR and obtain more rentals but since this time the church next door to the property has shown interest in purchasing the property.

The seller goes to church with me.

I told a friend from my church that I would like try to wholesale a house and he knew someone that was in foreclosure How did you finance this deal?

@Tone Church I am a new investor in the area, I would be interested in joining the Newburgh gathering next meeting if possible.

Using a guy from church, but he doesn't specialize in real estate.

We didn't find out about all this until closing because the title company just considered it all part of doing their job.There was another house that we bought from a church (it was the parsonage.)

The bigger cabins that rely on bigger groups and numbers of people organizing and renting them such as church groups, multiple families in same cabin at one time, reunions, sporting and youth groups, along with work groups will take a hit at this time for the foreseeable future.
