Though, even through house hacking, not having any capital cushioning me in the event I have a room(s) go vacant for too long makes me extremely uncomfortable, and I'd rather just wait until I'm able to invest without so much risk rather than getting in over my head and setting myself back with even MORE debt.     

No seller is going to want to empty their building in the event you don’t actually close.  

It's basically a giant social event with all walks of life, and likely any type of RE investor or pro you may need.

Now it goes from being an 'Act of God' to negligence in the event the tree causes damage. 

Property overview;3 bed/3 bath/3000 sq ft fully renovated house4 car garage that has a carriage house above that could be a ‘getting ready’/bridal suitePavilion with commercial kitchen, electricity, bar area Pond and grassy area for ceremoniesParking area for 100+ carsRustic barn that could be updated for additional event space. 13 acresI have experience running large scale, high end events and would like to take on an operational/boots on the ground role with this property.

Meaning, they may have been ideal, your screening might have been great but life happened to them and assuming they are telling the truth about the medical condition (and this isn't part of their pro scam) then this sounds like a life happens event.  

@Garrett Bryan Be sure to check out the events page here on BP for local meetups/events.Feel free to send me a DM, I host a monthly meetup as well.Welcome!

You might need to lay out where that liquidity would come from in the event your refi doesn't cover your hml in full.

I currently do not own investment properties but would not be opposed to investing out of state.

Worried we won’t finish according to the bank’s timeline due to weather delays etc....in that event what can I do as a backup plan in case the full loan is needed to be repaid?
