So I attempted to make a downpayment on a loan for a parcel advertised on landequities. 

Four years ago me and some other vacation rental investors in Daytona Beach sued the city in an attempt to allow STR in all of Daytona Beach. 

Once you accept rent while knowing of a lease violation, the law will not look kindly on any future attempts to evict based on that lease violation.

And I try to be supportive of anyone that's attempting to build a portfolio.

However, you can take the cash advance and have it "seasoned", I believe the magic number is at least 2 months in your bank account at least if you're attempting to get a mortgage using credit card fund as your down payment, so there's no further prying question.

@Henry Clark BP has a site in development that I think will attempt to do what you describe.

I have attempted to go the seller financing route, but every seller has declined that option.

However, when I attempted to contact her employer, she only provided an email address.
