We have had brief discussion regarding general Q&A information, and proceeded to provide an ARV price range that would be very attractive to me. 

The seller wanted to purchase another home with the proceeds from the sale of this one.

It’s doable, just more difficult, time consuming, with a lot more “contacts” needed for each “sale”. 

I want to preface this by saying I'm an absolute newbie when it comes to real estate investing, but the more books and resources I consume, the more I find myself gravitating towards commercial real estate, specifically hotels!

If you did and had problems leave them a review with the Better Business Bureau, here and also contact the FTC Consumer Protection division.

The interest rate is nice, if there was a way to increase the cash flow to ~15% or greater COC you could pull a HELOC on the property for 9% and collect the delta.again though, i would suggest selling it and trying to lock up a property or two with the proceeds that required some sweat equity, force appreciation through a reno, rent it out, refinance and repeat (BRRRR)

Are there any potential risks or downsides I should keep in mind before proceeding?

I’ve been manually scouring Zillow/MLS for deals, but it’s time-consuming, and I’d love to streamline this.2.Has anyone experimented with using machine learning models (like classifiers or regression models) to rate properties based on their condition from MLS listing photos?

That gives me some ideas of how to proceed with my note investing. 

I used the proceeds of the primary residence I owned in NC to grow a portfolio of value add buy and hold here in College Station.
