Not hard if buying off market at a 12% discount.  94% FMV minus commissions not required.Then if house is too nice for a normal rental, slow exit with a retail LO.   

I am talking to my LO right now, and they do FHA loans.

My assumptionis that the next steps would be that a LO would reach out to continue the process of the actual EIDL loan application.

When using the schedule E of the tax returns the LO should add back the deprecation, taxes, interest, insurance, HOA dues (if applicable) and non-recurring expenses if this can be documented (some of your repairs might fall into this category). 

LO's please chime in.

LO deal in Cali, then buying a property somewhere cheaper...)

Like when you have awesome seats at your dreamboat artist's concert, and, lo and behold, they make eye contact with you and smile and wave.

What's better about being an LO vs a Realtor?  

I've done interest only loans that cash flowed like crazy, then cashed out on the L/O when it hit worked well on the couple I pulled off.
