Due to your payment history it’s going to be tough to refi out into something more conventional or a DSCR.Hard money is your best bet but that’ll cost you.If your selling, drop the price and you’ll bring in more demand.

If you don't want to move into the property, I'd say a conventional investment loan or a DSCR loan are your two best options.

I've never heard the 25% thing before, but any difference between FMV and sales price would technically be considered a "gift" with potential tax implications for your parents.You can avoid most seller costs as there's no reason to use agents in this case.As an FYI: I always recommend avoiding a FHA loan, if you qualify for a low-down payment conventional loan.

Monthly expenses will include mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, utilities (if applicable), maintenance, and reserves for repairs.You’ll need at least 3.5% for an FHA loan or 20% for a conventional loan, plus cash reserves.
