I am motivated to do what it takes to get my journey going.On a side note. 

Plus I’m just curious at people’s motivation that actually do purchase them.  

Would I be violating any sort of FHA rule by cancelling future showings due to the vacancy being filled? 

In your opinion how do tenants react to this sort of situation where you want to do renovations and you are trying to get them to leave.

If that cash flow is super important to you and this was a sort of one off passive deal, then probably leave the money in. 

The fact that you have private capital available and ready to go is very helpful and will go a long way in getting your first deal started.There are several ways you could pay back your investors/lenders, most commonly with some sort of refinance.

I negotiated via my agent and the former owners were very motivated to sell.

What sort of real estate are you looking to explore?

I fully believe appraisers are most motivated/influenced by what the purchase price is and many of them don't seem to understand that buying a home at a discount shouldn't influence what the market value of the property actually is.

There are places that don't look at a single property's sale price but rather take "all" the comps and create some sort of value/average.
