If you think that mid to high 3 percentile is high than you better not wait until January of next year when Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac increase their cash out refinance fee to rate by .50BPS. 

Prelim is estimate before close and final is the actual accounting of how monies are distributed.So, it'll show rents collected (if you close mid-month and seller has collected, buyer gets half month credit for rent). 

The wholesaler has been very reasonable, and agreed to sign a new purchase contract with the seller giving both an extended period to close (mid Nov), and a few more weeks to provide financing details. 

This would be for nicer rentals and mid range flips.thanks

Market is just as, if not more, competitive than here in San Diego - at least in the starter to mid- price point ($350k)  My son moved to CDA two years ago and has been looking to purchase his first home there. 

A couple more weeks of poor progress and we had enough and terminated the contract mid job even though the new abatement contractor was indicating timeline after the current abatement contractor. 

In mid August, our lender (big name brand bank) tried to get an appraiser out there but could not get an appraisal scheduled.

I've paid between $2,000 and $2,500 to have my most recent central air units replaced in small-mid sized units

If this were me,I would try to learn the ropes with a small short term rental, or I might research mid term rentals and see if  that might be more viable (hoping it would be less work for you) so you can learn the ropes, find a good PM etc.
