This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.

By positioning the property effectively and highlighting its strengths, we attracted motivated buyers quickly, ensuring a successful sale without the need for renovations.

As a real estate broker I would make the same suggestion but as a buyer I feel so lost..

I'd love to hear others' opinions on this but I am a fan of making the house as attractive as you can to a potential buyer, even if that adds cost. 

In the end, buyers would overpay for the actual property based on earnings.

A lot of Jacksonville always seems kind of down and dirty then, but alot of that has probably changed over the last few years with the influx of buyers from elsewhere. 

If not they could spend money and time and offend buyers if they update the property incorrectly.There are other options, such as landlording.

and only close IF they find a buyer to either pay for the contract assignment or pay a higher price for the property?  

Many DSCR programs require an investor to have a mortgage history- there are some DSCR mortgage programs that will work with investors who are renting- some refer to them as first time home buyers (FTHBs)- DSCR loans are only for investment properties where the owner isn't living there. 

what you're proposing, while possible, is incredibly difficult and highly risky, and i don't know how you would do it completely remotely with no plans to visit or set up a team.i think i've said this in other posts, but there is tremendous demand for inventory right now among both retail buyers and investors.
