Quote from @Logan Barwick: I Am looking at getting involved in rental properties and debating on which option would be best.

Is this a single-family home or a multi-unit? 

Option 3- If they have qualified for FHA; counter the offer to see if they can qualify for low downpayment conventional loan

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) commercial investment investment.

I'll be specifically looking to start in the Cincinnati, Ohio and lean towards targeting buy and hold single family and potentially multi family as well.Any advice is appreciated and I look forward to connecting. 

If you’re looking for DIY options, PropStream and DealMachine can give you some lien info, but they may not always be 100% accurate or up-to-date.For Central Ohio, check with the county recorder’s office or clerk of courts for lien and judgment records.

Another option is a DSCR loan where some lenders have shorter seasoning or waiting periods- I've seen some that are three months which can make a big difference for an investor getting cash out of a deal and using it on a new project.More info on DSCR loans: DSCR loans won't use your income to underwrite the loan.

Also integrating them with Podio as well as an option. 

I'm based in Connecticut and currently looking to get into multi-family properties.
