Homevestors was a no-brainer for me when comparing all of the options. 

If the rate is your concern you can either buy down the rate or make sure your loan officer matches you with a no prepay product and then you are only holding that rate for an additional 6 months while you wait to do a conventional refi. 

Of course, the prices are so low it seems like a no brainer.

If the answers to all those questions were a no, then the neighbor can come after you and the tenant.Hopefully the dog is not considered a dangerous breed or that will be another thing the neighbor can bring up since a landlord is suppose to ensure the tenants will not be a threat to the neighbors.

Once the rehab is completed they do a cash out refi with a no-seasoning-required DSCR product so they get their capital back ASAP.

I know you probably considered having a no pet rule, because what you're spending on carpet cleanings could be going elsewhere.
