Finally my closing thought is, is there any downside to moving HSA banks I may not have considered?

Quote from @Devin James: Im currently learning this lesson with New Builds that have taken twice as long to complete than anticipated.....Finishing a Real Estate project ASAP is critical because...1) Holding Costs add up quickly- Loan Interest- Property Taxes- Insurance2) Investor Capital- Our financial projections are dependent on how fast we can turn our investors capital.

I can only imagine that they got a bunch of big time investors and business loans to grow this out.

Potential solutions include federally backed loans with lower rates or tax incentives to help offset the cost of a new mortgage, encouraging these homeowners to sell to new owner-occupants.

Finally, even as the landlords cash flow increases, depreciation should keep a major portion tax deferred. 

My biggest question is this: do you think I should continue to rent for now and prioritize tackling loans?

If it is a good business with a hard to finance issue, he'll work with the loan team to figure out how to lend to them.

Meeting a 20% down payment to avoid PMI seems manageable, although would take a big chunk of my liquid net worth, and I prefer this route over using an FHA loan.

Further context, I have zero debt, high 700s credit score, one other investment property here locally. 175k in cash available, looking to do DSCR loans or cash and then refinance.Peoria, Illinois- Great need for lower income housing, market appears to have many options.Lawton, Oklahoma- Looking only at extremely cheap properties, as it seems it’s not terribly hard to find renters.

Are there specific lenders or servicers that are more likely to call these loans?
