@Jared Ottley Try an more institutional bank too.

I recently discovered you guys and am taking in as much info as I can.

You may discover a very good reason why it's vacant and may remain so.With the above additional intell I can see if I will bother to look further.

Unless you have never viewed and discover it is a mess by an inspector(licensed), homes got into contract long ago, hard to back out especially you put an EMD.

Next, if there isn't, I'd go to the institutional lending trade assn. and from there, find out who knows hard money. 

It was only after my first real estate purchase that I discovered Bigger Pockets & joined my local Real Estate Investor groups & have begun educating myself further in this REI world.

I'm not sure many landlords would make the decision to pull apart the entire bathroom because mold was discovered on a section of one wall. 

The property has a few items that require attention including:Exposed wiring in the atticInsufficient amount of insulation in the attic (6in. versus recommended 18in.)The fact that there's a water heater in the attic (not disclosed anywhere in the home inspection)The bathtub faucet's water pressure diminishes to nearly nothing due after only a few seconds of it being onThe issues amount to roughly $2,000, but I'd like to seek out recourse given these issues should have been discovered during the home inspection.

About a year ago I became an intern for a local real estate company and spent the year hovering around agents and through that I discovered I no longer want to become an agent but more of an investor.

@Nicholas MorganThe process is identical like regular taxable account:mortgage/note on the property for the funds; property insurance to have the lender as lien holdertitle insurance for the lenderThe SDIRA account institutions; have forms to fill and the lender has to do that.
