I'm particularly passionate about Fix and flips and Airbnb.Outside of real estate, I enjoy spending the valuable moments with family, friends and building fresh water fish tank aquariums as a hobby.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

Think of all the horror stories about tenants maxing out the heat with their windows open during the winter, deliberately running water bills up, etc.

Add another $20 a month for that.Add in HOA fees ($300 a month; shown in your link), Gas, electricity, high-speed internet, water, trash and snow removal. 

Like you said, It's very easy to get a Pre-Approval from a HML, however, many will get cold feet if the deal is not good. 

It goes in much faster and is more water resistant. 

I had some minor water leaks and some subfloor issues that overall did not amount to much, but I had to have an vacancy to fix later.

We couldnt have a large hole in the ground fill up with water that we were going to place a septic tank in.

Make sure that this won't put your future buyer in hot water with the VA or his lender. 

Long story short, I have a water front piece of land in NW Cape Coral that I have been trying to sell for nearly a year without success.
