Anyways, I appreciate any insight/guidance you guys can offer.  

Two years ago when the entire market was red hot most listings in my area required a pre approval or proof of funds with the offer if I remember correctly. 

It takes a lot of life experience and finesse to deal with people coping with huge life struggles.If I were young and starting out, I'd offer paid services for clean outs and basic staging/moving around furniture.

These properties are NOT under contract yet but I need/want to secure financing before an offer is made.

Gautham Bhai, we offer this service for Desi investors. 

As others have said, almost all DSCR loans offer loans for warrantable condos.

For new commercial development often times the improvement is not fully taxed for perhaps up to 10 years depending on the state and what programs they offer in that regard.

I know of a few operators who are offering 4.75%-5.5% interest rates for 30-year fixed mortgages, a 20% down payment required with cash flow, good appreciation with good PM in place.

@Augustine Ubah VERY few PMCs offer rent-by-room services!

I have experienced cash flow anywhere from 10-18% with so much more to offer.
