After everything was fixed and they listed the unit, apparently they claimed that I was not allowed to have any understanding of who would be renting my home due to potential bias and discrimination (this is the first time I have not been able to view applicants general profile (credit score/occupation(removing any identity markers)), but fine, I let them choose the tenant and so far there hasn't been any issues.

You should still be able to find a few lenders to do smaller rehabs like that, as long as the ARV supports it, and often times the BRRRR tends to work better that way because if it is in a good Sec 8 area with rents that support the ARV, the refi can work out well.Happy to connect and talk through details if you are interested!

Your personal experiences and suggestions would be incredibly helpful.If you have any recommendations or are a professional in any of these fields, I would love to hear from you.

Why buy now, when we're virtually guaranteed a lower rate in a short time period? 

Things to really look out for are an age restriction, setback requirements, SQ Foot restrictions and time constraints.

At the time I did not know enough about rentals and my financial partner was more interested in a flip instead of a buy and hold.
