And third how do I resolve this?

My final advice is to get second and third opinions on the ARV and repairs, plan your exit strategy in advance, and run worst-case scenario analysis (and make sure that you wouldn’t be crippled if it occurs).  

.: My naive understanding on tertiary markets is third-level markets, one step further down from primary (i.e., Atlanta) and secondary markets (i.e., Mableton, west of Atlanta).  

My wife and I used to rent out our second room on AirBnB and that paid two thirds of the mortgage on our condo in Mountain View, CA.

That would answer a lot of your questions as well as give you an opportunity to ask a view.The banner on the right of my screen tells me the next one coming up on Wednesday evening sounds like it's right up your alley: "How to Buy Your First, Second, or Third Rental Property!"

Does it make any difference if two of the properties and a portion of the third were purchased by taking a HELOC from my primary residence ?

Third, if I still do not have deals coming my way I start submitting request for more info on listings on Zillow and Realtor.com to get agents contacting me.

Alternatively, the downpayment may be "gifted" to you by a third-party (typically a family member).Seller/Vendor financing is essentially when the Vendor becomes the bank and takes-back a mortgage following the sale of the property.  

Someone on the team should have experience as a handyman or GC or have access to them; while another may have access to properties or realtors, maybe a third is a lawyer,.... bottom line all should be willing to put up $.
