I'm not here to get into a debate, I just felt you were attacking me and the industry that I work in, to feed my family.

I was doing the 'pay extra on all loans plan' but found I wasn't really moving the needle on any of them.I would ID the one that's the highest rate or otherwise least favorable and attack it with everything you were going to spread around.  

Please don't attack me for not having done the inspection prior.

I think one way to ease some of their concerns is to show them a detailed plan of attack.  

A modification which adjusts a borrower's payment up may still fall under attack in FC court.  

I think for now my plan of attack would be to try and tap into my 401k for the 8k, and offer him 8k for both and see how that goes

Made improvements that affected the outside and then attacked the walls with new paint, new floors, LED lighting, and nice bathrooms.

I am a somewhat newbie BRRR investor.Right now I have 3 properties and I am thinking of 2 more to keep momentum.When I bought those 3 it was with my own cash so cash flow was great (ignoring other aspects).Now I have decided to borrow against those 3 to fund my next 2 properties.With what I have learned I can now easily tell if my properties will cash flow with a mortgage on them.Here is the problem ...I can only get a 15 year fixed at 5% ( long story that I do not want to get into here).With a 15 year fixed the mortgage is higher and attacks my cash flow.When I run the numbers on a prospective property with borrowed money I can barely eek out any cash flow and even worse, some are negative.This really got me bummed out and stunted my enthusiasm :-(But then I had an awakening thought!

Literally the day I decided on a plan of attack, numbers being solid any way I put it even buying at asking price, every property went under contract. 

Sometimes I get the energy to dream up some attack plan on all fronts:-Raise her rent every year (I do do this)-Refuse to fix things (not good at this)-Get my neighbors to bang on her walls randomly throughout nights (they have offered)-Mail her bridal and parenting magazines to remind her of her biological clock (my friend's ideas)-List the unit for sale and show it during her work hours (I would feel bad wasting the seller's agent time)
