@Brian GarlingtonWhere did this distinction between a trespasser and squatter.

I believe your inspector is not knowledgeable enough to give an accurate advice, he is putting you in financial danger.

Looking to capture the current climate, up and coming areas, danger zones, good/bad experiences, price points, rehab/contractor takes.I am intending to use the BRRR strategy.

Tempting, but since i dont want it to be all about the money it would seem theres a dangerous 'catch' here. 

The house was in danger of collapsing.  

Whether a hard money lender offers a DSCR product or not, there's a huge distinction over the hard money portion that's generally short term and interest only with a long term DSCR loan that's typically amortized over 30 years.

Save your "it should be illegal" for things truly dangerous

Some of the most dangerous words you can throw around are "always" and "never" (or other definitive words). 

As a general warning, partnerships are fraught with danger as, for example, each partner (unless very carefully restricted in the partnership agreement) can encumber the partnership (and thus, the other partner) even without the other partner's knowledge!  

And it is time sensitive, my aunt is in danger of losing her house and the reason I am having cash flow shortage is because my buyer is in the hospital with a "cold" (covid19) and my closing had to be pushed back to next week. .
