We ended up going the HELOC route on that property for a few reasons. 1) the interest at the time was only 5%, which although seemed high, didn't matter too much with our potential property showing a 18% ROI 2) we leveraged a second home loan with 10% down for that new property, so our HELOC withdrawal was relatively small compared to what would be needed for a traditional loan on a rental. 3) I dont think I will see the rates in the 2% again in my lifetime, so figured I should hold on to that "free money" instead of selling it. 

This scenario forecasts a potential 9.85% cash-on-cash return for an all-cash investment.Additionally, with a more extensive renovation, the property's resale value could surge above $200,000.This is just one example, but the above data showcases its potential as an excellent market for single-family home investments.

Yes, it would be good if the seller communicated any issues earlier because then they could be handled/negotiated earlier if needed, but for the buyer there should be no risk to their EMD at least the way we would typically write a contract in my market. 

Typically those lenders, agents, property managers etc. that they suggest will also be able to provide referrals.
