One low interest easy to get loan. 

Alternatives to using your cash to buy a Home:S&P 500 Index:Assumption based on history: For the last 100 years this index fund has average annual returns of 10.13%.

How much they can bill is slightly subjective, but the most common lifespan for carpets I hear is 5 years, with some saying as low as 3.

It was a little frustrating because I'd been in communication with these lenders from very early on, sharing all details with them from the start and repeatedly remarking on the Trust ownership, and stayed in contact with them throughout the discovery process as I firmed up everything on my end, and now I have the plans, the contractors, the OOP funds, and basically everything else ready to get started within 1-4 months, but I'm back at square one re: loan.
