I'm not as good a professional but the work I did was mostly good enough for us to live in, and the small fixes to make it good enough for renters has been worth trying to do it myself.

Any local bank that does this kind of financing should be able to approve you as long as you have a good enough credit score and never declared BK.

Is $200 per month or $2,400 per year good enough?  

Hopefully, by year 3 the market will be good enough for a refinance as well!

I assumed that shopping around for the best interest rate would be good enough.

If the deal is good enough their may be enough returns to pay investors as well as yourself.

if its a rebrand of do hard money look at old threads on BP.. these guys while not a scam many that posted on BP lost their 2300.00 because no deals were ever good enough and so they gave up and lost the deposit.. back a few years ago it was 3k.. great bizz model make 3k and and dont fund anything or very few according to others that posted.

Can't be too many condo communities in Amarillo or Lubbock but that would be my guessPersonally, if they are willing to put down 17K and you are willing to finance that would be good enough for me. 

That really isn't good enough in our opinion.Another option for you is if your property is in a realtively safe area, to install a wi-fi connected smart lock.

If you can only answer or help out with one of these questions, that'll be more than good enough.
