Take your time fixing it, if you bought cash you wont have much carrying cost.

By all means write your congressperson to tell them it's BS, I'm not a huge fan of it myself, but that letter from a 'voter' carries zero weight if that voter is a mortgage broker. 

Cash for keys rehab all in 4 months 6 month seasoning. 40% vacancy plus your carrying cost for 10 months.
