However, aside from that, I couldn’t find much information about them, and the only online presence seems to be the wife’s LinkedIn profile (though I’ve never met her in person and am just going off her profile picture on Zillow).After submitting the application through Zillow, we attached our income (two months of pay stubs for each of us from our current jobs), work references, credit and criminal background, rental history, and the contact info for our current landlord (who just so happens to be my fiancé’s father).

I have other HELOCs that were much easier to get both personally and professionally.

I say "may" because while I have read about this in several places, I have not personally verified this to be true.I usually pay contractors by check the minute the work is finished and approved.

The person worked for H&R Block, now works for TurboTax Live and is being honest about their skills: NOT QUALIFIED.

@Tanner Davis If you want to pursue either a fix/flip or BRRRR strategy, it sounds like you might need to find a partner/investor that knows you well and believes enough in you as a person to invest money in a project. 

Personally I prefer homes around that median price because that's where the most demand will be not only for owner occupants but renters as well.

It's a matter of finding the one where the weaknesses are in areas that aren't relevant to your needs and/or don't aggravate your personal pet peeves. 

Personally for what people charge for these programs I would say you are 1000x  better off taking some courses at a local college, getting a degree and working in real estate to get paid for experience and then do real estate on the side for your own portfolio as well.
