Does the LLC legally own the property that was purchased? 

I've helped a lot of investors in your area, and I find that many of them end up purchasing rentals in the Central Valley for the very reason you mentioned.  

If you’re interested in assuming a VA loan, you will be required to purchase the home in your name and have enough cash to cover the seller’s equity in the home.

First, congratulations on purchasing your first property together.

The ONLY reasonable deals are:Appliances when purchased if you have a retailer that offers unlimited repairs/replacement for 5 years for 10% of price.

I then found 3 properties from wholesalers in areas that I invest in regularly and purchased the properties with a hard money loan.

.• Hybrid Approaches:Some teams combine purchased lists with public records to cross-reference and validate information, which can improve call success rates.I’ve found that a bit of trial and error is often necessary to identify the right mix for your market and team size.

It is possible to get 90% of your purchase price and 100% rehab funded as a first timer in 1-4 units.  

I have programs that require only 10% down for the purchase, and will finance 100% of the rehab.

And we usually replaced windows/storm doors and HVAC systems within a year of purchasing older units, and this has helped as well.
