Hi Heather, Your lending options can vary greatly depending on what type of property you are looking at. 1-4 units, 5-10, and beyond will have different types of lenders and more importantly different loan options. 1-4 you will have the options of FHA/local banks/conventional.

This is market dependent, but I would consider 2% annual rent increases typical, 3% optimistic and 1% conservative long term in my market. 4.

This process varies by jurisdiction, so you'll need to research the specific procedures in Franklin County. 

But again it will depend on the particular lender and how deep they look into the deal.

depends on the remediation cost and if the budget can afford it 

To me, it seems like a big CYA move, which might be necessary depending on the type of people you rent to.
