My insurance company determined that they were not responsible because the problem originated it form INSIDE the wall which was the responsibility of the condo association.  

We negotiated it down from their original asking price of $1.8M but it needed to be a cash deal because the building was 50% occupied and of what WAS occupied was month to month office tenants.

Someone with a 700 credit score and good job.

Also what is your credit score? 

For the 2nd applicant, her credit score shows 770.

I originally house hacked with a long term renter in the other unit of a duplex in a great location.

The market was not as good as I originally had calculated in that area.

Assuming you've met that, your original loan amount was ~$364,500 with 10% and a purchase price of $405k.

You know I suspect but don't know for sure.. the Co owners of the fund recruited Brandon for his star power as the original face of BP and podcast host..

Aim for a 620+ credit score, save for a down payment, and research markets with strong rental demand.
