What really matters is how long you think you will have this loan. 

It can still qualify if it's a fixer-upper, as long as the rental income from the property can cover the debt service.

@John R Bongiovanni Aside from those services, I have done a lower security deposit in exchange for a higher rent on a long term tenant and they were fine with that.

Of course, if we have another available unit that's similar to the one they were looking at, I'll pivot to that and offer to move their current application over to that unit as long as they would still qualify under whatever the new unit's rent is. 

And then you could take your time shopping for long term financing once you own the property.

Many Texas cities are incentivizing developers to build affordable housing units, but challenges remain around keeping these homes accessible long-term.

Not good I think its a good tool for fix and flip and short term holds but not for long term holds if you have not ability to refi or enough equity to sell quickly even if you do and the sellers loan gets called they are still going to get their credit trashed. . 

Look, we were for most part playing a game of American Football for a long time.

Been in law enforcement for some time and while they do evolve over time, they will keep the same red flags in for long enough for people to figure them out and spot them.
