For this reason, I highly recommend the 2 BR option over the 1 BR.  

I know this is most individuals’ issue and understand that there are other creative financing options, but I find myself stuck in an infinite loop of needing funds to invest so that I can raise more funds to invest.

Are there no other options?

If the rent is deposited into your account then you have accepted payment.I use apartments.com and zillow to handle payments - they allow you to block payments.This won't help you this time but in the future your lease should specify how they are allowed to pay rent, specify payment options that give you control over the payment.

The lot is 3x the size of the other option and the home has very high potential for value add.

Looking for a bit of insight as to my options on financing. 

If you're going to stay in Westchester, you'll have more options on the market this time around than when you first used the househack strategy.

The 10 doors are also not appreciating because they were turnkey and the 1 door is in a vacation area and appreciating.You should be hunting assets because strong assets give you multiple options.

For sheriff's sales (foreclosure auctions), its 10% deposit that day and the rest within 10 days.I'm sure this sort of thing varies widely from state to state and even within a given state somewhat.

Hey Madina,DSCR is a great option, especially if you want to purchase the property under an LLC.
