In my experience I have had some builders/manufacturers push back against this process but if they want the business then they will typically play ball. 

If it were good, so many people wouldnt shy from their experiences. 

What say you oh wise ones with experience? 

The best option I see for you, if you can't get the line of credit, is to partner with one of us local rehabbers that have experience to make sure that $70k is legit and keep the project moving on time and on budget. 

Make sure they have real estate experience as location is not an issue, most of us work remotely assisting RE investors with their tax planning.

If it's close to Morton Plant Hospital your target audience would probably be traveling nurses.

I will be happy to share with you my experience in investments and property management. 

Good advice that lines up with my experience so far.  

In fact, I go with the highest deductible as possible and plan to only make a claim if something catastrophic happens.Duplexes (in my experience) rarely get broken into once occupied.

Ask how many units they manage and how much experience they have.
