I've read about renovation loans, like the FHA 203(k), but haven't found lenders that offer it. 

Make your offer a little lower because of it.

@Nick BaxterIn the Reno, NV market there are other housing programs that the local government offers that might be a similar strategy. 

Question: Should we rent this house(2nd home), which has offers for $820k off-market to sell, or rent for $5k, which also has interested parties? 

Just because a company is cool does not mean you should invest but do your due diligence, read the offerings, understand the difference, throw $100 or $500 in a company or too and learn about them as they look to grow. the only way to learn is by doing.There are some others on there as well that I do know. 

Ohio offers great sub markets of Columbus, Cleveland, and Dayton to name my top 3.

I have a duplex that is pretty close to the 1% rule and another one that is offering seller financing.

MLS, Offered full price with large down How did you finance this deal?

I am an agent, but a relatively new one, and so I'm hoping you can help me think this through and offer some advice. 

The course was easy to navigate and offers a wealth of support.
