Most people are now familiar with Pex as it is easily identifiable and even easier to install.

Have reached out to a few lawyers but haven’t been able to connect with anyone yet. 

In addition, you can reach out to a local hard money lender (not a national lender) and they will point you in the direction of fix and flippers who would make an offer.

I would recommend reaching out to other lenders that have a better understanding of your line of work. 

Despite numerous attempts to reach the listing agent, we faced silence.

You could offer them 1/2 or whatever ratio you feel is fair given the circumstances and they can write you a check for that amount to walk away.Another thought, if there is a way you can find out where they are moving, a forwarding address etc, I'd reach out to that new LL or owner and explain the situation to them, I have a feeling the tenant didn't disclose that they have an existing lease as a liability in their financials when the applied, and there may be some application fraud etc at play here that the new LL would likely want to know.Think about this from your own point of view, I doubt if you picked up and left one of your subway locations that the the LL would just let you leave.  

Also, you should be focused on constuction lenders who offer best leverage (usually those who will capitalize interest reserve &  finance a portion of the soft costs), lower floors on the rate since most banks tie their construction debt pricing to the fed rate, perhaps offer lower or no pre-payment penalty if the property reaches the permanent financing phase of the loan product before you are able to refinance and low or no required depository relationship outside of the actual operating ccount.

Just reach out through BP.

Rates are high and are making DSCR thresholds harder to reach.

Another thing that I assumed I could rely on the IRA's experience and expertise, but it sounds like it wasn't done correctly.Thanks for all the feedback and passionate/helpful insight; I've reached out to Udirect and I am awaiting their response.
