This is what the numbers work out to be on a large percentage of houses in the market right now.  

I'm finishing up a light rehab now; I'm selling a property that didn't work out the way that I thought it would; and I'm trying to qualify an off market lead I've been working for over a year.But with that said - it actually IS a challenging time to invest, with rates and prices high; low inventory; tremendous competition for deals both on and off market; contractors booked up; and more.everything you listed as their objections are VALID. 

Curious what you found out, even if it didn’t work out. 

@Bruce Woodruff I anticipate it will work out to remain about the same.

You suffer from the same fallacy many here do of believing that every open deal is going to work out.

If you bank at a retail bank it's likely that you could pull a cashier's check to provide  certified funds.As to the wisdom of using other people's money (that you are solely responsible for) you'd better be comfortable with repayment even if things don't work out as planned.

Just fill out the paperwork and you’ll be surprised how quickly it can work out.

This will probably not work out well if your wife is not fully on board.

Eventually, it will turn and work out "in the end" but the opportunity cost to waiting is too high to warrant keeping it if you don't love the property.I'm not sure how helpful that is; I am bullish on the area and own 1 property in Temple.

You do not want to force someone into staying in your rentals- it normally does not work out well.Andre, this is part of a learning curve and you probably did not want to have this much happen so soon.
