I am assuming this is your "typical" free standing bank on a corner somewhere.  

A client whom wanted to sell her home but was under water due to needed repairs vs current market condition How did you finance this deal?

The home was built in 1800, but looks like there was massive renovation done and from the looks of it I couldn't even tell it was that old.

Hi Riyanka.While I reserve my top shelf contractor info for my clients, I'm happy to provide 3 hard money options. 1 warning- it's normal for most hard money lenders to quote a higher LTV upfront and then drop it, later, increasing your required cash in the 11th hour- so I recommend you pursue 2 at the same time.Ken Ketter, at the bottom, is the most LTV-stable hard money lender I've worked with in several years, but typically their loan money is dispersed/out- you may get lucky and they may have funds available.https://capitalfund1.com/https://www.hardmoneylendersarizona.com/Ken Ketter 928.853.5339If I can help with consulting in other ways, just holler. 

I would try and connect with someone who can hep you ID a home type and strategy that would work in your area!

Even if I take my example, I went under contract end of last month and there hasn't been another home that went under contract in that subdivision.

Build mobile home on the vacant lot I understand the cost involved for rehab the existing house.  

You can do first-time home buyer programs that will reduce the amount of money down, or you can take some money out of that property your dad left you to make the numbers for an investment work for you.

Many investors do great putting a "tiny home" or cottage on their property and renting it on Airbnb.

If rent for a 3-bed home is only $1100, it won't attract the higher-class, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's attracting the local meth dealer either, does it?
