"...a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants - which would make them eligible for public housing benefits."

Nod bad - for illegals.

In my (Eastern Mass) experience, overpriced cities tend to get more overpriced in boom times, and are first to recover from periodically occurring busts (e.g. S&L debacle, subprime mortgage crisis).   Ergo, the least risky strategy is house flipping.

There is nothing wrong with a zero-point refi.  I would not pay points because, IMHO, interest rates will continue to decline creating new opportunities to refinance.

HML interest rates and points do not lend themselves to buy-and-hold (e.g. BRRRR).

Sounds like you and the seller are not on the same page.  Why would a seller let someone who they don't know to (potentially) butcher their house and, on top of it, finance the project?

Do you own or rent a house you live in?

Zillow's estimated values are notoriously inaccurate.
