I do have a very specific and curated buy box, so I know what i'm looking for in terms of zoning, lot size, buildable/improvable sqft, location, etc.With that being said, do you still not recommend going through sheriff sales?

It will help you adjust your pricing to improve your vacancy rate. 8.

My strategy would then be to lease at least two of the renovated units, increasing occupancy to 90%, which could improve the chances of securing favorable terms for refinancing.I haven't pitched it to the seller yet.

With Amanda Frecks as a partner and a clear plan for strategic improvements, it was the perfect fit for a quick flip and profit.

You want to be able to demonstrate that your intent in purchasing, subdividing, and improving was to hold for investment use. 

They may argue they couldn't pay you because they just made a $10,000 improvement to the house. 

I would focus on improving your credit and obtaining a more stable income so that conventional financing is an option.

My suggestion to improve your cash flow is to find another bank/lender.
