There may be other issues at play here that have little to do with a lack of experience at real estate tech platforms. 

I've been a licensed agent here in Maine at the Augusta-based Pouliot Real Estate for the last 2 years, but began my real estate career in Savannah, Georgia (my GA license is currently inactive).

We're willing to live almost anywhere in the greater Sacramento area based on what we can afford, provided of course that the property is in a decent neighborhood that has a good chance of attracting responsible tenants.As for budget, I believe we could get a conventional loan for properties up to $600k, but my strong preference is to find a distressed property (or seller!)

Per this NY Times article, the average American knows around 600 people.https://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/19/science/the-average-american-knows-how-many-people.html#:~:text=The%20average%20American%20knows%20about,do%20you%20know%20named%20Kevin%3FPer the US Census Bureau, the average American moves 11.7 time in their life, which based upon an approximate lifespan of 84 years, works out to be about every 7 years.https://www.census.gov/topics/population/migration/guidance/calculating-migration-expectancy.html#:~:text=Using%202007%20ACS%20data%2C%20it,one%20move%20per%20single%20yearSo, if the average American knows 600 people and they each move about every 7 years, that means that the average American knows around 85 people that move in any given year.How many of those moves do you want to be involved in?

I would suggest that you first get pre-qualified with a conventional lender to see if you qualify for a conventional loan based on your DTI.

Just based on the info you provided I would take the loss and move on.

Based on your post and other comments, it sounds like your rehab is extensive enough that the property isn't habitable.
