I have a few realtors whom I have relations with however my network does not specialize in creative financing.

I own a brokerage in South Bend that specializes in working with investors and building their team.

Maybe it might be different in your market, but at least here in CA, no real estate agent is going to refer  a client slow poke big bank unless it’s specialized bank offering a specific program that caters to the needs to the borrower.  

I see you have Houston, Dallas, and Austin Tx listed as a tagline in your profile, do you also specialize in Westmoreland County? 

I haven't been expanding my business with LMHA since the end of 2016 per my posts above so I don't know exactly what changed, but I expect the outsourcing of inspections to private industry + some executive level leadership + replacement of staff with new faces excited to serve the needs of HUD/Landlords/Those In Need has resulted in an agency I will develop more business with.The HCVP will always be a double edged sword for landlords (See Section 8 Bible discussion) but for now I have discovered it is finally worth the effort to participate in the program.I specialize in Toledo's transition neighborhoods, discounted houses on the edge of nicer areas but also on the edge of trash...the Section 8 program allows me to get long-term tenants who are a good business model provided they are consistently managed and visited/inspected for additional "visitors" (relatives and random dogs/cats) and damage/housekeeping which can destroy a home if left unchecked.You need to know the rules, repair and renovate for long-term durability, prepare for inspections thoroughly and keep a team of contractors who will hold those standards...after 8 years we have been through a hundred inspections.

Dang, this is a good one and I don't have a great answer but I would look at lenders who specialize in commercial or portfolio loans.

My order goes like this.1: Front of House (unless there is an extra special feature. think a Plane Jane house with a chef kitchen or over-the-top pool and patio area)2-5: Highlights of the best features of the house.

If you don't have a tax accountant, I recommend that you find an accountant that specializes in real estate taxation and business taxation. 

I recommend finding a tax strategist who specializes in real estate taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

I would get legal advise from a lawyer who specializes in residential dupage evictions.
