Currently still favor the house rental for MTR and long term strategy in ABQ, but I don't think you generate any solid cash flow unless you can get a turnkey 2BR for under $250K.

But maybe your tenant reaching out and mentioning that they're going to be forced to file a police report for fraud could generate some traction...obviously the real objective here is to just get the seller to call you back...

Multiple properties listed on the website portfolio appeared to be ones they would possibly not have initiated the LOI/PSA/sale as the properties are known to be bought/run/sold by other entities/syndicators.

I prioritize appreciation, tax benefits (rental property expenses, depreciation), ability to use leverage, and passing on generational wealth with real estate. 

They tend to cost more to construct then they add in value, they are generally more valuable for a property you are holding as a way to generate more income.

Your argument would suggest that if I bring home $2k/month in cash flow from a rental property in LA (where I live), that's a good deal, even though I probably had to put $2M cash into it initially.

Will you be funding your own rehab or would you need to roll those funds into your initial loan?

Initially 515, now 815.

Thanks again to everyone who is reaching out I feel confident that I will be able to move forward with at least one of the contacts made since my initial denial. 

Generally there are multiple units for each "zone" if you will when I've seen them installed.Regarding your problem at hand, I personally would simply adjust your plan to move and make your initial plan to get the current issues resolved, while costly now, in the long run holding onto the unit will likely pay off.
