What you are describing is called adverse selection - you have a known issue and want to buy an insurance policy to fix your problem because that is less than what it would cost to have the work done and you pay directly to the trades.

I'm aware that K1's are usually accepted and viewed as ordinary income with 2-years returns, however I'm struggling to find a lender that can decipher the difference between a private investment that issues a K1 and a publicly traded stock such as Enterprise Products, Williams, or Energy Transfer Partners. 

How about a stock, bond or other publicly traded security?

The 2 year lockout period means that they will not accept additional payments beyond the minimum payment (trade-off is that sometimes you can get them to go for interest only). 

This decision is too important to trust an online calculator; making a tax forecast is not rocket science on this but the gut punch because your basis is so low is understandable.    

Just depends on how much you want to cash flow, your down payment, loan type... and what areas you're open to (in terms of neighborhood ratings - C/D areas cash flow well but the trade off is a higher chance that rehab is needed between tenants).

what I like about MLS is you can go through a normal buying process. .wholesalers want to hype their deals info is wildly incorrect.. they want up front NON refundable deposits and your not getting any of that back.. they just try to create a false sense of urgency.MLS you take your time make your offers you can offer less you protect your EM you have inspections you can re trade within your contract time lines etc etc..MUCH more buyer protection that way.. the market will dictate the final outcome.. not a wholesaler hype machine and no real due diligence.
