can anyone you know in person vouch for this lender? 

My problem is that this house has a negative cash flow. 

This can be helpful if you expect your property to become profitable soon.Save It for Later: If you don’t use it this year, you can save the depreciation for future years when you have more rental income.

Try to do this BEFORE you put any earnest money down.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Hope this helps. 

This property is considered Agriculture or (AG).

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

This dude got shot 9 times.

The main house(first and second floor) is in reasonably good shape for a home of this era - most of the original woodwork, flooring and tiling looks good.
