I believe they are recouping costs associated with loans they don't close.

I recently seperated from active duty went guard and my partner who is active duty and I are trying to combine our VA entitlements as we did previously and co-signed on our previous loan.

Because it's an attic, it's pretty cold up there in the winter, but I am planning on installing a mini-split. 

I would take out a private loan on the paid off property to get the other one squared away

Find out which filters are best for your furnace, purchase a year's worth, write the installation date on each one so the tenant knows when to swap them, and inspect regularly to verify it's happening.

I was looking at DSCR loans because they don't require extensive checks like the bank loans and they "only" look at the income generated from the property to qualify for the loan.

Has anyone have any experience acquiring multifamily property using a SBA loan like to get your thoughts?

I never stain fenced when installing new ones in rentals.

This money is still owed by the tenants and at times we were able to collect some of the money for the damages.Regarding installing a sprinkler system, it's only helpful if the tenants don't turn it off.

We also have installed SimpliSafe (and signs about ongoing monitoring outside of the property).As someone else mentioned, it is best to have a plan not to go long stretches without checking in person.
