Correct me where I am wrong with my perception and walk me through the benefits of going with a turnkey company, where the profit is for the investor, and if the benefits outweigh the costs.  

I am thinking of that being one of my next big projects if the community is wanting it. 

Furthermore, after having a dog live in the house for 3 years there is almost certainly animal urine that has soaked through the carpet into the subfloor.

I asked a lender company through BiggerPockets to call me.

But I don't see that happening in the next year even two. 

Also, with a VA assumable, if the one assuming the loan is not a veteran, then the seller (veteran) entitlement will still be tied up in that property.

My recommendation would be to engage an investment property focused realtor (not a general residential realtor) and let that person guide you through the process from pre-qualification to market/property valuation and selection. 

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

Made sure to check the ledger and T12 to ensure that the tenant was qualified correctly before purchasing the property.

I'm looking to do a third house hack/BRRRR in the next 2 years.
