There is no timeframe on that; although most buyers want to buy a finished product.  

If only option was to rent the top as a 3br, numbers are still favorable for the product in my market.

It may also be used by some lenders for other credit product application evaluations (such as credit cards, personal loans, retail credit, student loans, etc.)."

Many lenders have asset depletion products and some portfolio lenders will consider Schedule D income.  

Are you seeking best lender or best product?

@Jonathan Rivera I agree with Melvin Noriega's answers, however the VA loan is not a great product for a few reasons. 

Reach out to your broker contacts and your network and ask for lender referrals that play in the apartment space.Your pre-screen interview calls could includ asking them if they do apartment lending, what their typical loan size range is, what class of property do they like, standard loan terms (amortization, fixed rate period, interest rate range, LTV, and any other product knowledge you would like). 

BOA is great for certain products but I think you would be a much better fit for a local community bank.  

I would say my intention is to foreclose as quickly as possible and get it into the hands of a competent investor to renovate it.Their goal is to see the property gets back into productive use as quickly as possible.

I also try to not put on carpet; I like tile and wood for floor products with regard to rentals
