Why not use the higher end of the estimate and once you are serious about putting in an offer contact your broker then?

Id keep looking if it was not an approved short sale ( even an approved short sale takes a very very long time and theres no guarantee that you will even close on the house after months of waiting). q1)There are plenty of non traditional lenders that could offer you construction financing if the numbers make sense but it will cost you with points and a higher rate.

At the time, just about everything was going for much higher price per square foot and with multiple offers.

We have an offer for someone to purchase our property via Subject To. 

When you go to a Bank or Credit Union, they can only offer you what products that bank or credit union offer. 

I made a relatively low offer and after one negotiation we settled on a price that was about 45% lower than the original list price.

They used to offer exclusive properties but now it appears that they are pulling MLS listings and will connect you with an agent.

Quote from @John Friendas: I am trying to find the cheapest funding on a property I recently offered on. 

I work with a turnkey provider in Little Rock, and they are offering a 5.99% on all of their properties, even the new construction.

You typically offer it to your partner first to see if they will buy you out.
