I was neck deep in a rehab we were planning to move into and I was running out of time to get my bride into her new nest before our first chicklette got here.

@Jacob PischerI don't know anyone in your neck of the woods, but here in SoCal The Norris Group offers longer term private money for rentals.  

At the closing table he was wearing ratty old jorts: jean shorts cut off at an in appropriate height on his 80 year old thighs, and a dirty muscle T that must have been purchased from Woolworths for 15 cents in 1950.

My neck has never flexed so hard.

I wonder if they installed a new meter or fixed the meter somehow.Our local water company is also a pain in the neck to deal with. 

There are a lot of mobile homes around my neck of the woods on 1 to 5 acres and they sell with the land for up to $100,000.

My experience of Carlton Sheets is through his cassette tape course purchased twenty plus years ago...while in your neck of the woods, by the way, and applied it in Fells Point in Baltimore.  

We're in your neck of the woods sometimes, if you ever want to talk shop.

I don't know if any of those lenders fund in your neck of the woods but it might be worth looking into.

Its that, or get some muscle to help you move in and secure your property.Buy the property with the contingent that outside of closing costs and one dollar, all money from the sale is held in escrow until the property is vacant.
