But before I even get into identifying specific properties, I need to first get smarter about some of the other things I put in my post. 

Where specifically in this area you are looking to invest? 

I've worked with proformas with 2 loans that could probably work with this situation.

At best you’ll be able to buy, through “creative” finance break even cash flow situations, which at best may begin modest positive cash flow in 3 or more years. 

The buyer's agent, though excellent, was new and unsure how to handle the situation.

But I'll monitor the situation as time unfolds.

Both my wife and my background is in manufacturing, specifically operations, customer service, and project/account management. 

We believe it’s not the buyer’s fault if title issues arise, and it wouldn’t be right to keep the earnest money in those situations.

I’d love to hear more about your experiences over the years.We are specifically looking to purchase single-family homes in the $80,000–$150,000 range and are considering renting them through Section 8.

Additionally, lenders may require a release price (a specific amount to pay down the loan) for each property sold, which can complicate the strategy.It’s worth discussing these details with a trusted lender or mortgage broker to ensure the plan aligns with the loan’s terms.
