I won't be able to get an FHA loan, due to the circumstances involving this property having " 2-units " , and there not being any other 2-unit or similar properties in the area to compare it to for comparable salesSo the Lender I am working with, said that my best ad ( only ) bet, is to go with the 5% down conventional loanI just received in the mail yesterday , my credit score report, and the medium score of the 3 , is a 670As to having the sell pay for the down payment, I just wasn't sure If my mom ( who is the Trustee of this property ), could pay for the 5% down payment ( Out of the Trust ) ?

I bet you can find a Realtor willing to go through the property and give you an opinion of value for a flat fee  and you would pay that fee.  

My bet is the people who dogged homestead were either older folk who only know the area as the "place that used to be nice during the steel mill era" and are used to the "good ole days" or others who just don't live here or ever really gave it a chance.  

Really your best bet is to convert the top two floors to residential.

However, with West Point and Stewart Air Base nearby if you had a decent property you could promote to Active Duty personnel I feel that's the best bet.

Given a little time, I bet you will dust yourself off and ride again.Glad to have you among RE investors, but don't completely turn your back on something you've worked so hard to achieve @Gabriel Garces!

If so your best bet is to become an agent.

Therefore, I would not place my bets on the couple being interested in your house.  

I would guess that your best bet for a local realtor will be looking to meet you at a networking event!

If the goal is to live mortgage free and bank appreciation, that could be a good bet.
