However, because that is something I'm working on, I wasn't sure if financing would be at a standstill until my score improved.

Your "standstill" is due to the properties you already bought.

We were at a stand still because we needed the house to be at a certain price point but she ( the seller) wanted $15000 more.

I bought a condo in downtown Hollywood , Florida a year ago with the intention of making it a short STR unfortunately the rehab phase is almost impossible since I can’t get dependable contractors to do the work. That ...

The weird ones are the standstills. 

So we had to put that tenant up at a motel while my property manager got the work scheduled and, surprise surprise, because of Covid, all the local permitting was at a standstill.

Seems I'm at a standstill until I can get over this hurdle and I certainly don't need the 1-800 number until I have a licensed servicer and the appropriate letters sent out from the servicer.

With building at a near standstill population growth will eventually absorb the glut of inventory.

We've had torrential downpours which have pretty much put us at a standstill since I would like to have the roof repaired prior to starting any interior work.

So I'm kinda at a stand still at the moment trying figure out my next move.
