I know I can go refinance but do have the credit challenge. an I request the contract be voided for not disclosing the roof situation?

One was done through Meredith Village, and the other was done with Granite State Credit Union.

Hey I am new to this site and to real estate I dont have any money nor good credit so where should I begin 

I don't know why you're having a difficult time finding a bank to do a refinance for your investments.This is a very common and typical practice so I would suggest calling a few more banks or credit unions.

All single family.Now the tenants usually have less then 700 credit.

I think that in order to feel confident about investing I need to spend about 4 months paying off debts (credit cards, cars) before I can reasonably allocate money to investing.

I've been working during that time with almost perfect credit scores so getting loans to purchase rental properties was a breeze.
