My initial inclination is to think that this property will qualify, but more info is needed to know. 

Im a very vanilla investor, and not well versed in different finance options but it seems like an acceptable, but not ideal, option for getting your foot in the door with low initial funds/experience and very little effort.

The idea of the BRRRR strategy is to force appreciate the property so that when you refinance you can pull out your initial investment (or as much as you can) or additional cash, if the appraisal is high enough.

As long as you aren't too deep into the negatives, with the house hack you'd be living in a property at a very small initial investment (compared to 25%) down while having a reduced mortgage payment as you gain equity in the home, and in TX it'll be quite a bit more than most other states in the US.

Hey Ben, My initial question is how is the property being sold as raw land, if there is an existing structure on it?

This means initially, the use of cash flow properties should be the way to accumulate a build up of cash for expansion. 

The issue with the delays was that, on the week of the initial closing(first week of February), he said I didn't submit all the documents he asked for. 

These are a few initial steps I would take if I were in your shoes. 

- Did they purchase it with cash initially?

I've looked at a bunch that seem good initially, but then a little digging reveals more problems.
