This equity can be accessed if you decide to buy a rental or need access to funds since VA can cash out up to 100% of market value with out time requirements for owning the home (conventional requires 12 months to cash out up to 85% on primary and use current market value).VA also has very high "funding fee" ranging from 2.15% for first use and 3.3% second use to as low as 1.25% if you plan to put some down payment down.

For now I'll concentrate on rehabbed 3 to 6 flats in stable communities but I don't see too many on the market that's within my price range. 

--What is the average interest rate (or range) that lenders charge? 

Westin:Most of the time if we have a claim it is for cleaning and repairing a few little things, but if you are in this business for any length of time, you are bound to get a few that do real damage to a property - sometimes willfully, but just as often out of ignorance.  

That is a big range on the repairs.  

These are just out of, or are completely out of my price range.  2.

Wherever we wind up is bound to be mostly at the discretion of the Air Force.

I have several guns and dozens of hours at the range.

I understand that it is a very big range, but I want to remain open to any niche until I find the right deal.I look forward to meeting some people!

I'm guessing you're looking at rents in the $650-750 range for that price.
