Note that the minimum loan amounts for these types of loans are typically $75k-$100k which can be in issue in some areas of OH, maybe not the areas you mentioned though. 

Your issue is really going to be loan size here, that dollar amount is likely to be too low for both reputable DSCR Lenders and even Hard Money Lenders. 

Their online support has always been really responsive and great, but I've gotten no response from them over the past few weeks with the various issues we've been having.

Law: Illinois has a law that requires (I believe) the insurance company to give a 'General and Special Taxes & Demolition Expenses' Form (Important info for this issue) to the city when claims/damages are over a certain dollar value.

My W2 job will cover a couple thousand dollars of expenditures per month, and we'd have the rent money from our current home, plus some HELOC funds available if needed, so I don't see financial survival being an issue.

As I reassessed and refined my operations, I am about as passive as I should be, spending about 1-4 hours/month dealing with landlord issues.

And a local attorney is good to have in your rolodex anyway for future issues that may crop up.

At this point they have no plans to resolve this issue other than increase taxes and replace wiring. 

Lastly I dont think folks understand that there is a huge supply issue and if everyone who went to a training actually went to work there simply is not enough RE to go around especially in the distressed asset space.

I have not taken the training so not saying there is an issue with the training but I am not a fan of high priced training
