Until the posting “booster” is asked how many deals he’s closed from all this mentoring.  

I have been following closely the same update.

Does anyone have anyone close to Cullman that they would recommend? 

A DSCR loan is going to require more down, have high fees at closing, a higher interest rate, a pre-payment penalty, and will require you to have cash reserves that you likely don't have at the moment.

They could even hire you to do the work on the house and instead of paying you they could just give you a credit at closing.

Stay focused and close on the property, do not let an out of the blue crime destroy a future REI and cash flow. 

State taxes may also apply.To minimize taxes, aim to reinvest the full proceeds into the replacement property, including closing costs and fees.

I have a deal that I am supposed to close on in 2 days. 

However, I am not closed to the idea of exploring other markets! 

Cash buyers have the upper hand due to no appraisal contingency and able to close a lot quicker.
