I know they have limited use/acceptance, but are workable in some circumstances.  

When you're fully ready for analysis check out the renter analysis tools and don't be afraid to post questions and ask for help, everyone is really supportive :) A good first step and great lending resource (super important in today's market) might be to check in with my lending guide and bestie of 20+ years @Joseph Chiofalo they lend nationwide and he's very patient with newbies and can help craft a workable plan towards portfolio growth.

Could make that 50+ acre investment property we spoke of a lot more workable. 

Workable for sure.

The 'what you get' for the money factor is highly applicable from Brookings to Astoria and licensable STR coastal vacation rentals are still regularly attainable at workable terms, Luxury and oceanfront and lakefront properties tend to perform above the 10% of valuation in gross annual income for prime coastal STR's and as an example I've seen a $2.1 Million Oceanfront home produce $300k in gross annual income.

Furthermore, you can't get a counter offer to an imaginary offer, and sometimes the counter offer can be surprisingly workable. 

Check in with @Joseph Chiofalo when you’re ready to leverage the equity or expand the portfolio there are some very workable investment property refinances of up to 80-90% of value and investment property financing available often with as little as 15% down on 1-4 units.

I really need help refining these ideas into something that is workable, and of course none of this is workable if we can't get a DSCR loan, which she's worried about.Between dealing with the symptoms of the stroke, trying to apply for workers comp and medical retirement, worrying about her sick time running out, and worrying about how she's going to replace her income she really can't deal with this, and I'm pretty stressed too.

Those can be workable terms, considering as of this writing a conventional SFR 30 year rate is in the low 7%'s..high 6%'s. 

Hi William..hope things worked out, we're working several small balance plexes for investors..terms are actually quite workable as rates have declined during the past two months.
