I think you found your problem, it's the dishwater especially since the leak detection company could not find a external problem. 

Look up on the internet for  mold remediation mixtures (usually water and bleach) that you can treat the walls with. Put a dehumidifier in the kitchen and bathroom. to reduce moisture in the air. 

Spring is a time with all the rain that you WILL find any external issues.

DId you have a home inspector prior to buying ?

Banks will increase the use of remote signing and other contactless methods of doing business such as postal,zoom etc.

Banks will also continue to take loan applications, but start slowing down the processing of loans and slowing down the approval of loans. The issue for them is as home prices decline it will get harder for them to lend on a depreciating asset.

Your title company can process a note for a small fee. Downloading and modifying a note can lead to problems, especially if it is non compliant for your state.

You have to make calls to build your base. Looking for another investors to give you their sources in their areas is not going to happen.

Start with a realtor, the MLS is a great source at the moment.

@Fletcher Clardy

You forgot the most important factor in buying a note and that's the current Market value of the collateral on secured notes. Buying a collateralize in a falling market can significantly increase the risk. 

@Kyle Curtin

As a real estate agent with only 1 year or less of part time experience, your "next level" in real estate should be becoming a full time agent. Focus on listings while visiting potential homes (duplexes and multi units) also check the MLS for homes sold 3 to 7 months ago and call the agents about the deals and grill them, most will be glad to talk. THEN start taking people out. You cannot be an expert until you have gained practical knowledge. Also don't limit your potential client base to 23-30 be bold and fill a database with contacts regardless of ages.

I've always had a side gig as an artist. I have an extra hour or two a day to work on that. I've been able to work on my backlog of commissions.

How are things in Coffeeville ?
