The second son is married but has not lived in the home at any point during the last 20 years so this doesn't seem to present any options for savings.I thank everyone in advance for your thoughts. 

It just didn't seem like it would be worth my time or money. 

Prioritize deals that offer steady long-term returns over ones that seem too good to be true.DSCR Loans for Growth:Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loans can be a game-changer for investors who want to scale.

He always talks about his deals being conservative, but there seems to be some big gaps in the underwriting, with the 2 deals I am in. 

But I would remain open to long-term rental as an option as this seems like a more stable option in terms of income, again this may be my inexperience talking.However, I have always  been somewhat risk averse and investing in real estate is always a big venture, in my opinion/experience, in terms of capital.

This to me seems too skewed. 

Once an isdue is resolved, another one ruses…it seems a landlord’s job is never done.

Quote from @Chan Park: It's time to step and be a Landlord, as uncomfortable as it may seem.

I shopped all of my state's CU last time so I only called the top few this time around, it does seem like the best way to go about things.

The property will be strictly for investment purposes, not a primary residence.I’ve been looking into two potential financing options:Hard Money Lenders (HML) – I’m drawn to this option for its speed in closing, but I know the rates can be higher.DSCR Loans – This seems like a great option for long-term rentals, but I’m unsure if it’s the right fit for my auction property since it might need some rehabbing.I’m also considering purchasing through a land trust or an LLC to add a layer of protection and privacy.So, my questions are:What’s the best way to approach financing for auction properties?
