Plus they should have experience dealing with thsi bank. 

So selling for a capital gain salvages what would have been a disappointing experience. 

Should we sell, we would be starting all over again with some good experience and cash in hand for another down payment or cash purchase in another market.

Hi There I am looking to start a glamping experience within 60 miles of Philadelphia.  

The hard money lender has tons of experience with lots of flippers in your market and if they approve the loan you'll know there's enough fat in the deal for them to be repaid. 

My experiences there tell me that personally evicting is a huge headache. 

Whether it’s higher premiums, inferior coverage, or other, my experience suggest to not make a claim unless costs exceed $10k.

I am encountering roadblocks when it comes to our credit score (mine is good / his is crap), experience with flipping (I have no experience / he has 22 years of flipping experience) and the amount of cash liquidity that some of the hard money lenders want is still on the high end especially starting out.

If so, reach out to them and ask about the experience

Sounds like you have some of that next level experience that many of us beginners and those of us in the mainstream way of thinking have never dealt with.
