Keep in mind this property is relatively turnkey with most capital improvements completed within the past 5-7 yearsIn the middle of the month of May, I get a call from my tenants saying that their electricity got cut out and the oven and air conditioner don't work.

If you're interested in multi-family, I highly recommend starting out with multi-family with your first VA loan as it will be easier to get a single family residence after that.If you decide to pursue multi-family, you'll want to ensure that each unit is separately metered for utilities (water, gas, heat, electricity, etc.) as this is a requirement under VA financing.  

We removed wall (plaster and lathe), added walls, re-did all electrical and plumbing, added half bath, full remodel Of existing bathroom, expanded kitchen.

never heard of one running off propane, unlike natural gas or electric.

Flooring, walls, roof, electrical, egress with windows and I think there is something about having a door that exits the home... not just into the home.
