I would recommend considering conventional financing until you reach Fannie Mae's limit of 10 properties, then consider either a portfolio loan, and start your race to 10 again, or look at DSCR at that time. 

Unless you still want to buy the property, the seller is in breech for not closing because you are full ready to close but they haven't or refused to sign anything.In NC if the seller breaches, the buyer can sue for specific performance.

But I get it, you need to know if it's a go or pass..!

Germain Act could work if you qualify, but if you can’t refinance right away, you’ll need to consider future plans.For whether to sell or keep the properties, selling gives you liquidity and eliminates mortgage obligations, but you miss out on future appreciation.

"I know far too many people who regret selling real estate looking back 20 years, but I've yet to come across one who regrets keeping it."
