Obviously most deals arent as good as they were last year but still money to be made. 

Then do what you want with the money. 

Earnest money is likely not going to be refunded if we back out now.

And I actually like the ones that I have to dig harder for because they tend to be even better deals.   

Most S8 tenants have credit scores under 580, so that's not really going to help.Maybe if you checked 36th District Court records for any landlord-tenant issues...If the seller (or their PMC) actually did a Verification of Rent (VOR) with the tenant's last 2 landlords, you might find out they left a lot of damages when they moved. 

Hi Brandon,It's likely more effective to look for private lenders at those ranges as most investors buy cash or use private money at those ranges.

The 1% rule actually used to be the 2%.

Which will cost money.

@Rein BehlkeYou will need to talk to a lender and usually put some money down if the bank doesn't like the financials.

Well worth the money.
