Hello @Roli Prasad  I have experience in your bullet points 2,3, & 4.

We bit the bullet and cleaned house (can you afford to?)

It's to easy to verbally just throw out numbers with no time or energy into the deal.

@Louis Vaughn if you can house hack the property that would be great strategy. bight the bullet and deal with FHA if that's what you need to do. 

If a deal doesn't make sense, focus your energy into finding a deal that does, instead of wishing this one did.
