I don't like Hartford for a few reasons- rules and regulations being placed are not in favor of landlords, that coupled with high property tax is what turns me off. 

High pigment content.

No lender offers 100% for everyone so there would be major caveat to that. 100% of rehab costs are normal.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated and thank you for taking time to read my post. 

Property could rent for 1500-1900 depending on quality of renovation. 

I have found myself defaulting toward larger, national banks/brokerages because of their resources, product offerings, and potential.  

My offer to the owner was in my name. 

The problem was that the borrower wasn't that qualified, so the broker really didn't have any good options to offer, so they just kept throwing up roadblocks in front of the seller until they finally through one up they couldn't meet (Like wanting 25% down, when that was never a condition up front.)  

Sometimes it's someone with a very high W2 income that wants to start in RE. 

I had multiple offers, and a couple from Chile purchased it to move in for a couple years and convert to an Airbnb.
