Does anyone has advice or at list guide me on the question to ask to solve this puzzle? 

Being open minded and preserverance are two pieces to the puzzle that are often overlooked.

If you are just starting out, I would focus on your local market and get all the pieces of the puzzle together, before trying to tackle multiple states/cities. 

Jokes aside, we do plan on using the capital mostly for acquiring additional investment properties at a future date.There is nothing in our background to bring up any red flags etc. so I find it puzzling that they say it's not as simple as it sounds - pulling 75% of the appraised value minus the outstanding note on the property.

If you were to look at my full resume you would be puzzled at how I came to be where I am today because it has things like coffee shop worker, coffee shop manager, airline baggage handler, airline customer service, airline supervisor, landscape installer, landscape supervisor, media intern, irrigation technician.

The home inspection is helpful but I find its only a small piece of the overall puzzle.

Sponsor's money in the deal is only one piece of a puzzle.

If for whatever reason you and dislike each other, you don't have to wait 2 years to get rid of them.The biggest puzzle to me is the reason tenant wants to pay 2 years in advance?

Thats only one piece of the puzzle.

To many people though don’t think of their exit strategy which can be the most lucrative piece to the puzzle!
