I am an investor myself and also own a real estate brokerage with a hyper-focus on working with investors.

Learning that I prefer money invested in real estate over money sitting in the bank... don't we all?!

A relative who does long-distance real estate investing told me that I have to sign the final loan document and the transfer of ownership document in person.

Based on what my real estate agent thinks that this quote will be, roughly, and the after repair value, it looks like I could buy this property in cash, spend a month or two fixing the damage, and then put a mortgage for roughly 1.6x what I paid for it and thus have a cash flowing property at a few hundred dollars per month and a little more money in my bank account ready for a down payment on the next deal.
