The bottom line is that you will need to get an investor/buyer that is fine knowing that there is a non-paying tenant in place.  

then IMO it's perfectly reasonable for an agent to charge a per-showing fee.By contrast if you're actually all lined up and ready to rock, then this would be unusual. 

We bought the house for cash for about 20k under appraisal and then decided to redo the original 1893 portion of the house ourselves and then we got a line of credit for the renovation.

Refinance as an owner occupantMy other options are to buy a small condo (probably only a one bed) or just wait until I have more capital acquired to get a conventional bank loan...I am so so ready to jump in & will consider any creative financing ideas...I know once I have a property it will be an income generator for me!

@Michael Zack Here are the applicable lead paint laws in MA: http://www.mass.gov/eohhs/docs/dph/environmental/l...Bottom line: You cannot refuse to rent to a family with a child under 6 years of age - even though your property has not been de-leaded.  

So needless to say, both (unit 1: 4 beds 1 bath 2000 sqft, unit 2: 2 beds 1 bath 1000 sqft) need to be gutted for a price much higher than I have the capital to fund.

The property is paid off and I'm thinking about getting an Equity Line of Credit against it to buy a 250-300k house in Atlanta to flip and rent it.

There's too many people out there that never take the steps to get in the game, they just sit on the side line their whole lives, so I'm happy to see you're not one of them.
