When you say you're looking for a lender, are you looking for hard money, permanent financing for holding properties in your portfolio, or something else?

However, part or all of the money to buy this property will be coming from someone else's account.

I second what everyone else has mentioned...

@Carter Manley I feel there's something else to this question.  

you know what else is expensive?  

Everyone else is a marketer either more focused on education than doing what they are teaching, or using the education as a funnel into their investments. 

I believe the better value currently is finding a home that needs cosmetic repairs and allowing the PM to handle those and get the place rented out as someone else stated.

With everything else, Amazon can give you a fairly exact delivery date. 

I still tried to reason with her to see if we could repair this, but she hired a personal injury lawyer (who happens to be a cleaning client of her) to start emailing me demanding I give her $125,000 for her 1/2 of the business, or else they are going to file a lawsuit.

If you can hold on till first part of January the showings and everything else should pickup.This would be my action items: 1. hire a new agent that can sell the place, and get you numbers are rent and selling and sell the place. 2. be honest on the numbers you can get on an ARV so that you can sell it 3. start to get the conversation started with a couple lenders on what these numbers on refi would look like for you and this property 4. my suggestion would be to refi/rent before selling at a loss because if numbers work you can hold for a couple years then sell, but this is dependent on your cash position and liquidity of your situation.
