They are incredibly understaffed and will view this as a civil issue. 

However, as first-time and inexperienced homebuyers, we overlooked critical issues during the initial inspection.

As others have mentioned, if you can commit to using the property solely as an investment and won't occupy it yourself at any point in time, DSCR will allow you get around the DTI/employment/income issues.

My issue that I’m having trouble getting over is that down payment money is currently yielding 5.5% in an HYSA with no risk or stress.

We are all human and make mistakes.Yes, you will have the same issues when you go to sell it.Good Investing...

@Marco PadillaIt's easy for us to say all this because we have experienced it; the initial visceral reaction to a large loss is emotional can you give us more color when you are back in country?

That's a nonconforming property, where you have fewer lenders that will bite on it so you are limited there but let's assume that's not an issue. 

If you discover foundation or structural issues these can also be expensive.I would not use a per square foot figure like, $50.00 or $75.00 per square multiplied by the number of sq. feet.

If you sell now its a 15-25k loss unless you do FSBO, then the loss is smaller.If you don't sell you may be negative around 4-6k each year depending on the capex timeline/maintenance issues.

From June until November I haven't received one payment, my court date was set on the Monday of Thanksgiving which the clerk couldn't give issue the court order document because she was swarmed with all the cases that week, the following week I received the court order and the writ.
