There are many options for skip tracing, most just send a query to a single database while others hand-scrub the lists for the results.

I like metal blinds better, they block more light than vinyl.

Duct work is old metal ducts.

Not much has changed in my life, but if I now have to finance a rental property vs primary home, my options change. 

What are other options do we have if we don't have piror experience? 

Hi BiggerPockets team,I am a rookie US real estate investor searching for financing options for my first deal.Personal ProfileCitizenship: IsraeliI do not have US citizenship or a long-term visa.Investment GoalsLong-term rentals in good B/B+ locationsLow-maintenance propertiesKansas City, MO/KS, or its suburbsI am familiar with what https://lendai.us is offering, but I am trying to find other alternatives.Thank you!

Like Jay said, there can be more flexibility in repayment options. 

There are two options I have offered and I want to get a check on here if I am off base with my offer or if I need to push harder.

The only other option I see is a short sale, if you don't need to purchase for a few years and don't mind a temporary credit hit to save the $60k.  

Otherwise, I recommend option two, using a personal loan.
