I don't qualify as a real estate professional. 

I could very easily hit the threshold for a month in one weekend without a qualified applicant and no way to proceed in sending out these forms for a signature. 

Do you know of any formal education OR do you provide mentorship for parking lot investment?

She qualified with her dad so she could qualify for a bigger mortgage, so she cannot afford the monthly payment by herself.

We've talked to a lender and I am currently qualified for 190k, 3.5% down FHA loan.

Or do their job and come up with a new strategy to get qualified tenants in.I know quite a few people in the property mgmt, and there are certainly some great ones, but also ALOT of lazy ones, just like in many different service industries. particularly with larger companies with lots of employees

Was it easier to qualify based on the property’s cash flow?

Alternatively, you could pursue a hard money loan for rental financing which wouldn't require certain rental income to qualify. 

This building should fall under that, but since the upstairs apartment is gutted, would this property still qualify? 

Then payoff their mortgage/liens and I take the rest.If I structure it this way I've been told I don't necessarily need to go through a title company and formally "Close" on the property which would save me a few thousand bucks.
