I was hoping to get suggestions and/or contractor referral in the Fitchburg area on how to address the issue.

There are a lot of tax benefits not to do that or to wait until you're done with owner occupying all together.

Specifically looking in the Belltown area.

No current liens but these properties have tax deeds, not warranty deeds if that matters.That as-is value is going to make obtaining financing more difficult for sure.Financing options drop off pretty steeply below a certain dollar amount because foreclosure costs for lenders can be significant.Your best bet may be to connect with some local private lenders (local investor meetups/referrals are a good starting point for this) or local banks.

I do know of some builders and lenders in the area that are organizing to create solutions for people who are stuck because a builder can't finish the job. 

Jake,this list of 4 companies are a great starting point.  

My name is Anita and I'm from the greater Houston area.

There are buying frenzies in this area b/c of low inventory.  

Hey my names Everett I’m in the Tampa Bay Area.

@Namal BurmanI have CPA referrals in the San Diego area if interested; feel free to send me a message to inquire.
