We got this from our loan officer;...we are still in the process of finding an appraiser to do the appraisal.

I have thought to maybe try and rent out this house as an office for someone or maybe to a equipment company that is looking for a place to store some equipment. 

But they have their own living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, office - it's a completely separate space in practice.

Office, industrial, Multifamily, etc?

You might have to get more micro in your search and look for a more off the radar type wholesaler who would literally let you shadow them at their office (assuming that's what you meant).

Your loan officer is correct….but it is your choice. 

Was told by my loan officer Josh I’d be closed in under 5 weeks if the appraisals came back.

This is so amazing I actually went to my office to reply from a computer.

I have a loan officer and insurance girl that I really like working with.

The offer was accepted and, LONGG story short, my mortgage officer pre-approved me for the wrong type of loan.
