This process can take a couple of months if the tenants are cooperative, but will likely take 6+ months and possibly over a year.Do you know if the tenants for the subject property are cash tenants or program/voucher recipients?

That is why it's also uniquely American that in USA a person who throws hot coffee on there lap can get paid $30million for the coffee being hot..... (2) Because that's what the market wants.     

Not every state or city mandates that any landlord has to accept Section 8, because the landlord has to not only subject their property to Section 8 inspections, rules and regulations, they also often have to separately arrange for the tenant to pay the non-covered part of the rent and can face difficulty evicting just based on that.

I would focus on "Ugly inventory" but would pass an appraisal and not be "Subject to" so that I can renovate and refinance on the ARV in as little as 6 months to pull out my initial capital and enough to put down on the next REI.On the flip side Indiana and Ohio would also offer a sale price to cash flow ratio since you can still find a great deal in both states.  

All Contractors are subject to the lender’s determination that the contractors are qualified and experienced, have all appropriate credentials required by the state, are financially able to perform the duties necessary to complete the renovation work in a timely manner, and agree to indemnify the borrower for all property losses or damages caused by its employees or subcontractors.Multiple Specialized Contractors:Ø Since this is a limited repair/renovation program, no General Contractor is required.

@Celine Li I am curious if, before posting this, you clicked on the search function in top right, and tried looking up this subject/ answer/ question???? 

Does anybody here have experience or insight on this subject?

@Daniel TrippettThe subject has been beat to death in many different threads here on BP.

Everyone on here is saying that you can do it, but it's definitely not possible if you don't have a lease in place on the unit you are currently living in or can show you are living somewhere else with a utility bill or rental lease  to demonstrate that you are not intending to live in the subject property.

Spokane has been a hot market for investing for awhile and local meetups and Facebook groups will be able to provide you the best information about what's working in your local market as well as any specific market risks / challenges.John
