You can also ask for a loan extension which you should do.  

If you are using a standard CA sales agreement, you probably have your loan contingency in place still.Your realtor should be working on asking for an extension to buy you time.

Along the way, others have opened my eyes to also storage, mobile park, NNN, and private equity real estate funds. 

Has to go cash or private at that point.

I have 3 properties with loans in my name and 6 properties with commercial and private loans in an LLC.

I have connections with businessmen from NYC “whom are always looking to invest” (private money lenders).

@Jared Gore - If you put your own money into the deal or private lender money into the deal you should always have a plan (prior to purchase) to get that money back out. 

I feel like I have sufficient funds @100k and a network of private money lenders ready but since nothing can cash flow around these areas, is the only strategy flipping?

I have a great credit and depending on what route of investment I take, my DTI ratio is good, not super great but good for anything up to $200k.Top view goal: Purchasing a duplex close to $200k or SFH close or less than $150k.Financing strategy: Option A - For the next SFH property using HELOC for rehab and private lending to buy from two relatives/friends.
