@David S.Based on what you wrote, probably syndication deals are your best bet.

I think some of the folks in Maine are making a bet on appreciation.

There is no real way around it other than to contact the seller directly through some type of channel and direct mail is usually the best bet.

Luckily my tenants are another county and OK with their internet access.

When I first started doing this, my internet speed was 10mbps. 

Your best bet is to call your local construction office.

If you didn't have internet what would he do? 

After all, all they need is an internet connection to work.https://www.redfin.com/blog/wf... 

I remember back in the late-90s when Internet stocks were soaring -- but companies that barely existed were getting billion-dollar valuations and IPO were jumping 1000% in a day.A couple years later, everyone was saying, "I'm not sure how it wasn't obvious to everyone that the market was broken and it all had to come crumbling down?"

Your best bet is to get some payments under your belt then after about a year to 18 months, see if the lender will let your transfer title without repercussion.
