I'm sure in a 1-2 hour drive from your area you can find a similar situation that will work out much better numerically and that would be my advice.

I planned to have my realtor facilitate for us. 

This isn't your 2010 Killeen market anymore.There are still numerous foreclosures - 14% of sales in 2017 - so there are distressed opportunities (many don't have a lot of work required as the area is so new and many foreclosures are only 5-15 years old).

. :)  he had a company called California Wrap even.. and it was those transactions and many other Ca investors like my dad that then created the All inclusive Deed of trust.. to facilitate sub too in a much safer manner.. its a great document folks should google it.. its what we use to transfer title in CA on a wrap or sub too. 

You have to use a facilitator, so you can't do this on your own. 

We have represented numerous Buyers within Palm Springs MSA and all of southern California and they frown on pools in apartments of 4 units or less.   

I work primarily with out-of-state investors and I can say that I've closed numerous deals with investors without having/needing any type of info on spouses.

The best definition I've ever heard of a credit score is "a numeric representation of someone's likelihood of going 90 days or more late on a payment in the next two years".That said, no one has actually has a score - until their credit is pulled, and then the resulting score calculation is based on the information available at that time.

@David Huynh Generally, expenses incurred to facilitate the purchase of real property are capitalized to the basis of that property. 

I commend you for taking on an investor, facilitator, role.
