Hi BP Community, The situation is as follows.

Start networking with mortgage brokers who are in the Agency financing space as well as community banks who like to lend in this type of deal,Gino

Quick update: we decided not to move into the bigger house in the burbs (it didn’t appraise and the seller wouldn’t come down) and are happily still living below our means.The Financial freedom that comes with living modestly is so sweet it will take a very special house to get us to move at this point.ALSO, similar townhome/same community as ours just sold for $30k MORE than what we had ours under contract for a month ago, so I feel like the low new house appraisal causing our deal to fall through was a blessing in disguise.

My goals and plans are constantly changing as I gather more information.I'm constantly impressed by this message board and the REI community in general by how helpful everyone can be and expect little to nothing in return, thanks guys.
