Hi Alana, I'm afraid that will either be through a local bank or a local private person looking to lend personal money.

Taking this step will absolutely make the difference on whether or not you get some deals.Messaging - using VA's vs local callers and the actual script you use.  

I'm a local Realtor since 2005.  

Talk with a local portfolio lender who knows your market.

Also connect the local MLS to the commercial version of this on an easy to use platform.  

Begin by engaging at the local level, attending the REIA meetings in your area.

As a local investor and agent here in Columbus, let me know if you have any questions or want to connect!

Before making any decisions, I recommend exploring neighborhoods in person, talking to locals, and doing thorough research to determine which area aligns best with your preferences and lifestyle.

No Architects in the area have experience with that as it's not common and the local codes I heard can be more stringent than Energy Star.So then do they have to physically meet or can I just send the architectural drawings to the Rater to make changes or add materials?

Not sure I would even invest that much, but might give you a start.My suggestion if you feel really uncomfortable learning on your own....go join your local REIA.
