If you could forward his info to me I will reach out to Scotty smith.

Part of me wants to try to move forward and just not get the state involved because lets be honest, when have they helped?

I have a landscape background so we wouldnt have an issue adjusting the grade to the house and tiering the back yard, adding drain tile etc if we decide to move forward.

However, paying attention to your surrounding communities and the proposals that are being thrown back and forth can always lead to some ideas; as well as, give you better understanding if plans look to be moving forward.

Fast forward and many,many deals later now I'm looking for my second run here on the central west coast of Florida this time.

I kind of looking forward to add even more anxiety to this upcoming sale. 

(Tenants are still in the home.)Fast forward to today, and I've planned to go visit the property and the PM is refusing to give me keys to my own house!

Our business partner also believes if we don’t sell the house in the two week time period before the asbestos abatement is completed, we have lost nothing and we can move forward with the sale of the home with the asbestos problem resolved.Whaddya think ?

Look forward to seeing your progress. 

But they will need to see bank statements and even credit score info before moving forward, you will have to submit for draws during the rehab, and they will hold some of the $$ back until the rehab is complete to their satisfaction.Bottom line is as an investor (from your perspective, not the lender's), you should always have the cash saved and available to fund either type of deal without having to take a loan from another source.
