You've likely missed your window, given that most states have deadlines to report damage, and you implied that there was nothing more.  

As it stands, I have commercial lending in place that is quite favorable because it is loan to cost (allowing me to borrow for the rehab), but the numbers are very tight, as the mortgages are amortized over 15 years.

Write a clear lease with guide lines and deadlines.

Update: I was contacted by several HMLs after posting here and reaching out via the list on BP and was able to get my offer submitted with LOI by the deadline today.

Inventory is tight so you may need to see what is available and priced right vs ideal on paper.

Find a multi-family in an area turning around or going strong and it's worth 10 times the sfr.Sure you can possibly get good cashflow on a lower end multi in a bad area but you have to consider your exit.Don't let the fact that we're in a tight market force you into a property you will regret in the future.  

In my area it's steep driveways, tuck under garages, small bedrooms and closets, 1 bath (and small), tight kitchens, steep stairs, 4 level splits, train tracks, etc

Granted, there are other factors that are causing a population boom and supply is tight, so I believe prices will continue to rise steadily.

In my area, even 1.5% can be tight.

Since budget is tight, my partner feels that it's better to leave it as is and let the buyer take care of it.
