While I have found this to be true in several cases, I would suggest making some hard money contacts while still looking for properties.  

The reason being is they can quote you a low rate (too good to be true usually) and then half way through the process or even worst at closing the rate is subject to what it is that day and then they excuse themselves because the borrower never asked for a rate lock or were never aware of what a rate lock is.If you have any more questions I am happy to help.

The true bridge loan could work, but as you might have seen you'll be paying interest on that difference and so you may still run into DTI issues. 

I've always been curious myself about Self Storage, seems too good to be true from the street view.

Is that true? 

This is for a single wide on land as true real estate. 

Is this true? 

(Ok not true but close).

Wholesaling is portrayed as an easy entry into real estate, but that's not true, so don't fall for that.

I like to share this story as a cautionary tale and while nobody has a crystal ball and can predict the future, understanding the end goal can  help investors understand  whether they invested in a market that can reap the true benefits of SFH rental ownership or perhaps point them in that direction.
