I meet the qualifications for an accredited investor and have a strong interest in multi-family in the long term so that leaves me with a lot of options.

Inspecting their house is not an option and rental market is strong here and I will have it rented soon.

Keeping that in mind, many have more equity in their properties and some believe strongly in having zero debt and paying off the mortgages as quickly as possible rather than continuing to buy more properties through refinancing.I have at least 30% equity in every one of my rental properties.

If so, I strongly say "no" just based on that regardless of what the deal is.

I would strongly suggest you find some local real estate investor meetings in your area, you'll find more cash buyers and other people in the local industry, it is very very useful to build those relationships.

But then again if there is a big tree leaning over that brand new roof, or if you often get significant hailstorms and the like then the equation may change and you would want to be setting aside more for expectable damages/treatments. 

Based on what you described, I cannot see a way for you to get a line of credit for your brand new business since there is no revenue.

From what I know, they will Flag this and won’t approve your mortgage if you’re not a strong buyer .

What brand did you use in your rental property and how much did you spend? 

Ecosmart seems to be a good budget brand, but it's more like $450.
