Quote from @Griffin Malcolm: Open an LLC and apply for a small business line of credit from Key Bank.

Is the higher price agent inflating to get the listing or is the lower price agent just not keyed in well enough in the specific neighborhood?

And what is your price point and are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"?
