I recently found someone who knows of a resort property where he can get it for significantly lower than it is worth,.

Other questions we have concern things such as finding a good group of contractors to work with, and how to best protect all parties in our transactions, most certainly protecting our family as the top concern.

As a buyer I love when the appraisal comes in lower than value as it provides me better opportunity to lower negotiated price or to obtain concessions for items found during the home inspection and I employ the best home inspector. 

I hooked up with a local real estate agent in hopes of searching the local market for great deals but have found that I need help with funding the transactions.

Each transaction will need to stand alone and be "at arm's length".You may need transactional funding on the A -> B transaction and you'll need to watch out for title seasoning requirements on the B -> C transaction.Whatever you put together, do your homework and vet it with your attorney and the title company agents.

Basically you find a transactional lender (@Shari Peterson) that will lend to you based on the end-buyers' conditional loan approval and appraisal.

This lowers their required down payment to 10%.There's always something you can do in an expensive market - look for local experts and learn how they've done it!

If you went into the business transaction with a serious attitude and a professional process then yes they absolutely would. 

@Timothy Mackinny You made an absolute very valid point and I got lower rate than this one who I want to deal with at moment but I didn't feel comfortable dealing with them. however the busy builder has no time for my lower cost projects.

I know there are many variables and specifics involved but should I expect the dues to go back down to a lower level once the reserves are met.
