How hard is your money working??

@Chris Seveney, we own one investment property and have some money in retirement, but we just started saving so its not a large amount yet, so I wouldn't say we have a ton of assets at this point.

I was wondering if it would be possible to raise grant money to help me do it.

I rather fix the damage, have the neighbors insurance pay for it, and find a new Buyer once the issue is resolved.The important question is: After I say NO to the requested discount, if the Buyer decides not to proceed with the purchase, would the Buyer be entitled to receive their earnest money back or should I?

I have funded quite a few Tax sale purchases on bare land in FLA and my clients I lent money to did well with them.. but they are spot lots. and they sold pretty quick on the open market not sure having habitat as a buyer is any bonus for U.

Is it possible for a private investor[non hard money lenders] to pay down your loan and secure a lien and for you to pay them back, and if so where do you find investors that would? 

I hope it gets better with time, it would be a great resource to have and could save a lot of money, if it can be as efficient as PropStream.
