I was under the impression that hard money lenders are only for if you are first purchasing the property.If this is possible, please let me know.

@Doug Spence wow that's impressive.

Two pics of the same unit, one beige and the other gray.Location 2nd story of a 2 story 12 plex in a desirable location. 1 bed room 1 bath unit - Typically looked at by W2 stable Class B long term (type) renters in their 30's and 40's.Pics are  1st impressions on opening the door for the prospective renter(s).Based on your experience and thoughts:[1] Which unit would rent for more, if for more--how much more than the other, and which would be time on market the lowest (more desirable) ???

Were they under the impression when they signed the lease that there would be a turf yard? 

I was under the impression that  the other units that I would not be occupying  but renting could be consider  as income.

Once we add a pool, the figures reflect an impressive 9.6 cap.

I was under the impression that I could use only a Title Company to facilitate this.

I was not impressed.

Wow, that last guy gave me a headache; sounded like a used-car salesman - fast talking, really into the "I'm different from other realtors because I focus on getting the best price possible for your house, so you'll be super impressed with me!!"...

Sounds like the OP is unwilling to do that anyway Certainly if the paying off all the debts with no discount is an option, they can easily do that and close anytime, however that is not the case per the OP ( Or the impression I got anyway).The foreclosure is the first problem to solve.
