I would do this first before engaging an agent unless you are extremely active.

Given it's in a very low population area, it may just be an extremely slow, low demand rental.

The most extreme example was when I purchased a 60% ownership interest in a $450,000 property for $10,000, that had to close the next day.

Any competitive DSCR program is going to be in the 90-day seasoning range for allowing a refinance based on the newly appraised value.Your 9-month seasoning should not be an issue, barring an extremely unique situation (like inheriting a property or having it gifted to you).------------------------------------• 0-6 Months (Delayed Purchase, no Rehab completed) - up to 80% of purchase price• 6+ Months (Cash-Out Refinance, no Rehab completed) - up to 75% of appraised value• 0-3 Months (Cash-out refi, Rehab completed) - 75% of appraised value [good rates]• 3-6 Months (Cash-out refi, Rehab completed) - 75% of appraised value [best rates]

*Did not pay for the training* It appears to be a method to lend wholesalers earnest money and make supposedly extremely high returns.

It's an extremely clear lease clause, tenant gets discount based on painting of rooms landlord chooses.

For the few that understand this niche it can be extremely lucrative.Takes less money, less time and hassle, and there’s little competition.

I would also tell you to be extremely careful when doing contracts with builders. 

But after getting to a certain point in the process (keep in mind I haven't closed yet) I am left feeling extremely nervous with what the future holds on this property as far as some things go.

If you can buy something habitable, and rehab it over time while you live there, that could be a home run of an investment when you look at your return on investment, especially if you house hack.Sure you may leave cash in the deal, but if you buy right, it could still be an extremely profitable and low-barrier to entry way to get into real estate.
