My husband and brother both have extensive backgrounds in construction, while I have experience in design, so I am very confident that with the updates we would make, the house could be worth over $900k.

It's important if you're going into a new area that doesn't have a ton of development yet, but you are very confident in, to purchase as much inexpensive land as possible before your plans become known but to also make sure you drive enough volume in that area to make it clear to tenants that they're not in a desert outpost all alone.

A lot of the investors that I work with will get all of their properties Section 8 approved, which guarantees the rent at a higher rate than you could normally get for it. 

Then, once I have that information/proposal/etc. prepared, how should I approach investors?

I have been told by several investors that I was overcharged but I guess at this point it is what it is since I have already almost finished everything.

Hoping to get in contact with agents that focus with investors and have good insights on the area and returns. 

That being said, I fell out of my chair when I was able to lock an individual investor (personal name) using a 1031 Exchange with about 50% down and 800 credit scores at 6.99%.

Your situation sounds like a classic investor's dilemma, and it's great that you're considering all angles before making a move.First off, it's worth considering what the "rip cord" would be for your investment—essentially, what's your financial breaking point where you need to make a decisive move to avoid further losses?
