In my post I was just trying to offer another perspective.

I am most comfortable with long-term rentals, but I would like to try a flip or two to build my capital.

They mentioned how Dom helped them narrow down neighborhoods for a multi-family purchase and even flagged potential zoning issues before they made an offer.

I offered to temporarily lower their rent until they’re back on their feet.

@Sunny WuPerhaps offer them an incentive to also help in finding a replacement tenant.

Prince Georges county in MD also offers over the counter liens.

Offer: $580K.

-> Besides doing your market research, i strongly advise that before any purchase or offer, that you hire professionals to help you in the process.

The biggest challenge seems to be finding lenders that offer these loan products which is where I’m looking for help from the community with recommended lenders that serve Texas.The Fannie Mae (or Freddie Mac) options are preferred over FHA purely because of the (perhaps perceived) limit on renovation funds that the FHA option provides.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!
