It sounded like the team working on the loan wasn't motivated to close as the usual path on these situations is to find a solution with the sellers to get the loan done. 

Plot out worst case scenario for cost and be honest with the seller. 

You'd be surprised how  much they are willing to give in and how much sellers will lower asking with those concessions. 

And I've finally made the jump to a, "bigger building" I'm feeling good about the price, the location, the documents I'm getting from the seller. 

Or, have him seller-finance until you can get the permitting resolved. 

In the past there were more options to get creative with seller financing etc to put down less than that, but now the primary lender in general won't allow this as they want to assure you have sufficient skin in the game.

I am starting to think of investing out-of-state and looking for some thoughts on investing out-of-state and finding an agent who can help find these out-of-state properties.Appreciate any feedback.Thank youHey Manmeet, we're getting off market (seller finance, creative finance, sub2) deals in Sacramento.

We decided to furnish and try MTR and WOW the demand was incredible, we cash flow well over $1500/mo!

Not sure the size etc, Also make sure to stipulate a timeframe as solar would take years to negotiate - do not be shocked if the seller wants a non refundable depositThis is very common in these types of transactions.

Sellers are paying in full or majority of these assessments.
