Ive spoke to a few lenders, one told me no way but i contacted another lender that can def make it happen for at the very least our next unit.

I will contact him on Monday.

Contact a broker or look in Scotsman Guide to find an appropriate lender.Check your costs on the bridge loan to see if you aren't better getting a fixed loan on the free and clear property and adding an equity line of credit after repairs are complete or refinance. 

ok i was just wondering as a first time home buyer would this be a big mistake going online and using websites like Trulia zillow etc to look for my house and just contact that listing agent and set up a meeting to look at the house and if i like just buy it at the listing price? 

If I were you, I would contact an estate lawyer, or have the siblings contact one, to legally see what the other 4 siblings options are.

The 2nd unit is ground floor and basement. 3 bedrooms also.A: Contact the city and MAKE SURE that it's a true double.

We would offer around $80k and he owes the bank $220k and the house maybe worth $130k in its current condition.On a positive note, some other people that called back were other current investors who are now in my contact list.

I will be sending you my contact info through the messenger.

As a mortgage lender, all of our appraisals must be run through a gov mandated "Appraisal Management Company" and we can't have any contact or influence over who takes/picks up the appraisal request.

Just from my experience and opinion, first, you can try asking the potential tenant for the previous landlord's contact info, most likely they should have it if it's recent.
