I thought funding the deal was the main problem im facing but back to the drawing board.

Hey mate,I'd advise against $50,000 houses unless you are full time on the ground.Turnkey houses for $50,000 tend to be in rougher parts.C or D class.High crime, lot's of volatility, boarded up homes, no upside from an appreciation standpoint, cars with no wheels lol and PM collects rents with a bullet proof vest and shot gun.Works well for some and the hustle is real.

There are some that have a very relaxed management board who may allow unlimited subletting. 

If the Realtor indicated the unit was vacant prior to closing in writing, I'd also talk to the broker (not the salesperson) at the Realtor's office and let them know you expect them to make it right by you, or that you'll have to talk to the Board of Realtors and / or the state's licensure office about the matter.

I had flooring guy recommend the plank glue down with an acoustic underlay or Clic Plank with an underlay attached to the boards. 

That being said I’d sit down with Dad and Uncle and see if they’re on board and get started.

HUD has a useful tool (Google "FY2024 Advisory Small Area FMR Lookup System") to learn what rents you'll be able to command.
