Our schedule is demanding, and I won't be able to manage the property on site.

Check the city or PD's web site to see if they have a claim form posted. 

You can read it for yourself:https://www.hud.gov/sites/documents/DOC_7780.PDF However, there are variables to consider.

John Smith was never seen on the call or the work site.

From my POV.it really depends on asset class and tenant Class.. this is a huge distinction. my clients that I sold apartment complex to in Oregon with B class.. they pay 4% but then have to pay for on site manager as employee.. so 4% to manage the on site person so that person does not rip you off :).However for BP and I have to think the vast majority of the rental property investors on this site that have gone to  D C B out of state markets.. those props are not like a 600k rental in Denver and the tenant that comes with it.. or really any city with a A class tenant..

Why not look at the many reviewed lenders on this site? 

That is why it is showing such high occupancy on sites like VRBO.I also agree with the point above that to compete you would want to renovate and bring in some amenities, but like I stated earlier, it depends on your target rental amount.

Can I go on IRS online site and make payments from my bank account to get to 110% of 2023 tax payment?

I enjoy contributing on this site and don't use it for personal promotion.  

., you might be cutting it way too close to really do anything. 15k is the bare minimum I suggest for reserves or oh no money on any project so that doesn't leave you a ton left to work with.As @Glenn Banks said, 203k is probably your best option because it's an FHA loan and you can do low money down and the reno is baked in, but the reno is complicated.
