@Maya Dib

I will be in the Norfolk area for about a month in a few weeks. Looking to potentially making VA an OOS investment target in the future. Let's connect and see how we can help each other out!

@John Kaspar First off, thank you for your service. Fellow veteran here! Second, welcome to the BP community my fellow Masshole! I am from Watertown, MA. 

Your plan sounds like a good one. Definitely take advantage of the awesome VA loan that you have earned. Do you already have a VA disability rating? You are exempt from the VA loan funding fee if you do.

To tag someone, type the @ character and then start typing the persons name. Type a few letters then give it a second and the name will pop up and then you just click it. 

Good luck on your REI journey!

Can a lender jump in and confirm that appraisals indeed cannot be released until "cleared"? I think this right here is the fail point of this situation.

@Patrick Senas Hopefully you can get some good advice and get this all worked out. Could you possibly put together a rehab/expenses plan to show how you can update the units to raise rents and lower expenses?

@Jeff Greenberg Isn't your recent college housing property located in GA?

@Patti Robertson Thank you for all of that information!!!! I did find the TRIG group the other day and put the meetings on my schedule. I didn't come across the other ones you mentioned so again, thank you! 

What areas of VA do you invest in? Any areas you would right off the bat avoid no matter what?
