Not sure about the secret sauce but I bet the hubzu website just got a bunch of visits. 

It's his connection to Gates, who I think is a horrible human.That aside, I'm a buy an hold guy so I like how he places his bet and then pretty much rides it forever.

No, wait, @Ben Leybovich is way too cheap for that...I'd bet he only bribed you $10 to start this petition.  

I agree with @Joel Owens that if you aren't looking to owner occupy then your best bet is small local/regional bank. 

Your best bet is to do some driving around and get names from the property location.

If anyone has any ideas for us, that would bet early appreciated!

@Jim Viens, I bet getting comps is tough!  

I know it's not great to bet on appreciation.

I won't be able to get an FHA loan, due to the circumstances involving this property having " 2-units " , and there not being any other 2-unit or similar properties in the area to compare it to for comparable salesSo the Lender I am working with, said that my best ad ( only ) bet, is to go with the 5% down conventional loanI just received in the mail yesterday , my credit score report, and the medium score of the 3 , is a 670As to having the sell pay for the down payment, I just wasn't sure If my mom ( who is the Trustee of this property ), could pay for the 5% down payment ( Out of the Trust ) ?

I bet you can find a Realtor willing to go through the property and give you an opinion of value for a flat fee  and you would pay that fee.
