If you happen to be a close friend or relative to a person with the cash then a private loan would be an option.

Feel free to private message me.

I'd recommend discussing the risks with an attorney and at the very least having a plan in place to deal with the worst issues that could arise with leasing your primary residence short term.Be sure to provide proper notice (probably 1 month in advance of the lease end date, but check your state laws about proper notice) for them to leave and it would be a good idea for you to have a neighbor check to confirm they are moving out in the days prior to your returning.

There is many Private Lenders out there looking for investments they than they are currently making. 

@Wayne Brooks I think they meant to say that I should have clouded title while I was under contract (ie filing a notice of contract with the county).

Just put them on a month-to-month and make them give 30 days notice before termination.You should consider reading a book or two on how to manage your rental.

Thisfar from going bye-bye, just readjusting for small/mid sized lenders dodd frank is a good bill, and like all of bills of this size and scope, they will need reasonable adjustments as time goes onI doubt anyone will notice any direct affects of this, though the lenders affected by it (like BB&T especially) will have a lot of opportunity open up.

There was some mold I noticed when I visited and looked at their unit where the leak was coming in- I fully expected to get a bill for drywall repair, maybe a section of wet carpet, some painting, etc., but not complete mold remediation. 

I have always invested on my own but I am now starting a private real estate investment group based in Miami.

When pulling my absentee lists I notice that there are alot of 100% equity results, Im wondering if the mortgage information just isn't available on most of these properties and therefore this value is a sort of default in that event.
