We really like the envelopes at the below link, but are trying to find a cheaper alternative.

thank you for the advise  @Gaige Rutledge  I was thinking the same thing  I just wanted some re assurance I guess @Jessica Zolotorofe unfortunately the .com for the website I want is already  taken and i cant think of an alternative I think I will just go with the .net unless a brilliant idea comes to mind

The other alternative would be a live-in-flip--buy a SFH that would pass VA inspection, but needs updating.

If I were to boil it down to four of my best screening techniques, they would be:1- Look in their car.

Alternatively, you could so a cash-out refi as well.

These are individuals or groups of individuals who lend money as an alternative to big banks.

You might find a Lender in CO that would go with a HELOC - but probably would fall out in underwriting.Consider a Cash Out Refinance as an alternative. 

IMO the better alternative is to build a project that is market rate and includes 10-20% affordable which will allow you to use the State Density Bonus to increase your density by up to 35% (50% in City of San Diego) so for instance a property that allows 10 units can be increased to 15 units . 

In the alternative, cancel the contract.  

You can also see about an alternate payment schedule in exchange for a reduced fee and be sure that they're only collecting if it's occupied.
