Fairly sure it's simply ply wood with peel and stick tiles on the floor.

Depending on how the plywood is attached, it may be possible to unscrew or knock the plywood upwards if nailed, and then shim the low joists so that the plywood is flat and level, before reattaching the plywood to the joists. If the plywood is in good shape, that is.

Yeah, if your low spot is easily identified I think it's your best bet. My floor was made of individual subfloor planks and very wavy throughout because the old joists were bowed, I ended up cutting out the whole subfloor and sistering new joists before laying new plywood. If I could have just shimmed them it would ha...

Install isn't complicated, so I would select a product you like and find a handyman type. Just be aware it's outside the weather seal so you need someone a little thoughtful about how they install. Consider fire escape risk. No idea if that's appropriate security for your situation.

Yes, builder bought the rate down to make them cash flow still. Pricing is all relative, of course. Homes in the SE can be a fraction of the cost in more expensive parts of the country like CA, WA, OR, CO, NY, IL, MA, etc. It's hard to cash flow at all in those areas.

I’d go for it. You can refinance later to lower your rates. And the sooner you buy, the more time your property will have to accrue value. And you’ll be profiting off of the rents. Of course, you need to make sure this will all fit with your budget and goals.
