I especially believe in this challenging RE environment that some realistic analysis is beneficial.  

So, tell a story of how you (or a fellow wholesaler) helped a seller out with their challenge(s).

In real estate, blunt honesty often protects people from common pitfalls or predatory advice that oversimplifies the challenges of investing.

Reread what @Stuart Udis wrote.We can testify to the same challenges after 25 years in our marketplace.We also agree with @Kristian Sexton about starting with a PMC.

I suspect that you'll have better luck with a local bank or private money, though it likely will still be challenging. 

Challenges?

The biggest challenge seems to be finding lenders that offer these loan products which is where I’m looking for help from the community with recommended lenders that serve Texas.The Fannie Mae (or Freddie Mac) options are preferred over FHA purely because of the (perhaps perceived) limit on renovation funds that the FHA option provides.

Commercial has a very different environment of buyer/seller, it's pretty rare to find a totally ignorant party on either side.

However, I’ve been hesitant due to challenges like remote management, high interest rates, and low cash flow.
