There are a number of short term interest only products that will only cover the purchase price but those rates are typically still going to be a bit high 

Callrail seams like a really good product but it's $30 a month for 500 minutes or $120 for 2000 minutes.

If the tenant filed a change-of-address, then their new address would be provided to you as well.

You'll have to have the cash for the rehabs up-front, but basically how it works is you put your 25% down and get the 75% from the lender to acquire (there will be points and fees as @Christopher Phillips mentioned), and during the loan process, you'll provide bids for all of the work needing to be done to the property.

A fix and flip product would make the most since for sure, however the type of loan you should go for really depends on the scenario .

If you want to evict the tenant, send them a notice to vacate form, or provide them with a 60-Day Notice of Non-Renewal.

Thanks for any info you can provide, DonnaBirmingham, AL. and Atlanta, GA

But better to check with a provider such NREIG, etc. 

I want to be able to work with one trusted GC for all future projects, with the understanding that certain bids they provide could be a deal breaker.

Credit history will be important and also the type of loan product that you are applying for may mean that income and DTI would come into play.
