What kind of investment properties were you looking at?

Quote from @Jaikevis Reams: In order to put a property under contract I need to provide proof of funds I know that I can get that from a hard money lender but I don’t meet there criteria for a loan approval what should I do? 

What seems most attractive for now seems to be multi-family markets starting out and eventually moving into 5-20 unit properties for growth. 

Unfortunately, banks don't generally like to finance the rehab/construction of investment properties.

I am new to the game with 1 property leased to section 8 under my belt and was about to buy another.

Also, before you buy another property you'll want to determine your ideal next property - meaning, will it be a "rent ready" house, a major renovation project, or somewhere in between.

I should have said that my goal is to flip the property by EOY but rent is this year to hopefully recoup some of the renovation costs 

Are they doing everything possible to expose properties to the broadest possible market?

My client had some things come up that prevented her from executing, but these were some of the options I had put together for her, a regional bank, a regional CU, and a national bank.Reminder that NOI sizes CRE debt, and that's often what determines the down payment requirement, not anything to do with the client or particular lender, just the property itself.

Over the years, I have build a list of distressed properties in my area of downtown Los Angeles, Glendale, Koreatown, and Silver Lake area.
