Any help would be appreciatedSince they state they are not interested in VRBO or STR, I'd take them at their word and find a different place. 

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

Do your numbers again and find out how much more in rent you'd get.3.

I have found time is better spent building tools to quickly analyze & procure new deals, rather than hyper-analyzing the metrics of one deal, ultimately making initial review faster & more reliable (spend time on the things that make sense, quickly remove things that don't, even junior-level staff can identify good opportunities with the tools, etc).For example, if I'm modeling a SFR to 3-4 unit scheme, I can quickly check the $/sf/mo for each of my proposed units and get a good idea of the GOI without having to manually dig through &  find rent comps in that City/Zip:- So instantly I know in Woodland Hills that a Studio is close to $5/sf/mo on avg, 1 Bedroom closer to $4/sf/mo, with the 2 & 3 Bedrooms closer to $3/sf/mo.

Park the $100k at 5% until you find something better to do with it. 

After being a landlord of 4 doors for years, my wife and I decided on selling our property in the insanely hot Colorado market, and we set out on a road trip to find our new home.

I want to find out what other wholesalers are doing to close?

I have a high credit score, good income, and money in the bank, but I have been having a difficult time finding a DSCR lender I feel like I can trust.

For the railing height, I'd find a local carpenter to ask about completely removing the railing and balusters and doweling in an additional length on them.

Maybe you could find a VA or a co-host to do all the work for you?
