You should consult with a licensed professional for advice concerning your specific situation. But that would be a mistake. Try to meet with (and ideally, develop professional relationships with) a mix of traditional and non-traditional lenders so you can see what options are available and get the quickest, most reliable access to money. Seek distressed properties beyond your usual location, whether its in a new neighborhood in your city, a new city in your state or a new state altogether. For instance, if your current contractor has been challenging to interact with, you could either have a sit down with them to discuss your concerns or start searching for a new one.
