If you are going to rent through section 8 housing, don't expect to get a good return on investment.

There are a lot of considerations for both options before you can figure out your expected profit/return.

I was offered LTV of 54%, 6% rate from a commercial lending institution but that LTV isn't feasible for me and was definately a lower LTV than I expected.

But zero chance I would pay the extra to sell to this one buyer or expect debt to be forgiven. 

Don't expect it to be easy because it will never be.Skip tracing is a tool that finds any number associated with the requested address.

If you're looking at this from a distance, connecting with a local property manager could give you a clearer picture of what to expect in terms of tenant demand and property management challenges.Let me know if you need any more info or want to chat further about this.I hope that helps

This is an expectations issue, not a calculation one.With that said, you need to be looking at properties where you can add units and/or bedrooms.

Here are some steps you could consider:Clarify Expectations in Writing: Send her a formal letter (via email and a physical copy if needed) explaining the importance of scheduling timely repairs and how delays have impacted the property and repair costs.

But the property as a whole was in much worse condition than expected, so I don't think the numbers would work out for me.

Most lenders have a limit to how many draws you can take from your rehab budget and often it will cost a small fee (you can include that in your budget) so you'll want to confirm if/ what their limit is should you expect to be taking a lot of draws or complete the rehab in smaller increments.
