To get better responses, consider posting the areas, neighborhoods, blocks or cross streets.

Additionally, although there is some cross-over, people who type in "foreclosure" etc. may not be looking to sell their house.  

Should I buy a washer and dryer or count on the tenant to put their own in there?

The benefit of this is that it makes my "total loan count" substantially lower, allowing me to get additional loans for investment properties. 

Vacancy has been zero this year, and with the mild weather and low oil prices, my expenses (not counting mortgage) have only been about 30% of income.  

Hi @Bobby Nilsen,SFR loan limits are the VA loan limits regardless of unit count, that is correct. 

. :)Rent from rental units can be counted in the mortgage math before it appears on tax returns, overlays aside.

If you turn thus around you nay discover that you're mining the wrong pile.I've been doing probate deals exclusively for 25+ years, nearly 2,000 now and counting. 

So selling a smaller center showing very low vacancy for a market average in the area doesn't fly.Vacancy will also depend on the sites location,traffic count,population level,median income for the area, access and sight lines for the property, and whether the tenants are local, national, or regional in nature.

You crossed the first hurdle by setting a goal.
