The loan information is the only area that I believe I may have messed up as I put the total fees from the quote ($6799.91) as the points but I'm pretty sure that would be incorrect. 

We have seen a few properties that are within our budget, but would obviously do some more thorough analysis on the properties before pulling the trigger.On the other hand, we have been more interested in STR's since we planned to start investing in real estate.

The parcels should give us potential for six homes total between primary, ADU, and Junior ADUs. 2.)

I can send photos to anyone who would like to see but I don't really want to post this link publicly because of the obvious desperation of my post lol... 

Maybe ill have better luck trying to ask specifics with the group.On my sheet total project cost is calculated by adding Closing costs + Repairs + Holding Costs + Loan amount + Hard money fees.

We have been between 6.75%-7.75%--obviously better than hard money and no points. 

Obviously, no title company is going to insure title while there’s a valid option to purchase outstanding.  

I just looked at a utility bill with a total charge of $184.12 but $116.50 is from base fees!

If not, any obvious alternate investment that I could do on the property to raise it's value, get more rent, or save money that I may be missing?

You seem very green, I would highly suggest finding a property management company to do this for your while you learn the ropes and how things work.However, you can also get a copy of "The Book on Managing Rental Properties" by Brandon Turner, and get some really good information.The main one's to consider are:Background check - totally clear, or will you allow certain thingsEviction history - totally clear, or will you allow if no evictions for last xx yearsIncome Requirement - usually 3x the cost of rentCredit History - totally clear, or will you allow certain thingsPets - yes or no, size, type, number of pets allowed, extra pet deposit/feeAgain, I highly suggest a property manager to assist you with this.
