The tenant has a roach issue, even though my building has a monthly exterminator service.

Quote from @Angelo Llamas: I’m doing medium term rentals and I’m breaking even cash flow wise.

But I'm having trouble finding any properties that I could rent, BRRRR, or flip where I would even break even—let alone clear a profit or cash flow.My question is: When you hear that I'm essentially doing 100% financing, does that make it clear to anyone what strategy would be best?

I have not asked for a raise on mine I get pretty big ones out of the gate LOL.As for Fico when i had a bunch of mortgages that reported to the fico I had a hell of a time getting even above 700. 

@Daniel Baker What do you mean by breaking even??

Partial or full doesn't matter (except see note below re: coming even on delinquent rent).The statute regarding notice for evictions states: "No judgment of possession shall be entered for . . . except in the nonpayment unless the landlord has made written demand and given written notice for delivery of possession of the premises.”

Even if they do have 20 years experience...how do you know really?  

Id keep looking if it was not an approved short sale ( even an approved short sale takes a very very long time and theres no guarantee that you will even close on the house after months of waiting). q1)There are plenty of non traditional lenders that could offer you construction financing if the numbers make sense but it will cost you with points and a higher rate.

Honestly 350 days a year I don’t even think about it. 12 days a year I wonder if everyone paid and if not will they pay, for about 30 minutes.

Even then, $23K in closing costs seems hefty unless there's past due payments that need to be brought to current.
