Wishing you the best on your journey.

The loan is short term, for 12-24 months and you will be expected to sell, refinance, or pay the balance in full at the end of the term.

You have an excellent jump start- the VA loan is such an amazing tool to get the ball rolling.

If they can't do that, keep shopping.This may require digging up the foundation, sealing it from the outside, and installing a french drain to keep water away from the walls.

I think you'll more than make up the price in higher selling price.

Quote from @Nick Rutkowski: @Nathan Gesner for the beginner guys who are going to read this post.

In davidson county most people book an STR to be close to downtown or at least close to somewhere cool as a secondary priority (like 5 points or 12 south for example).If you have an STR in white house it's going to need to make up for location.

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.

If the goal is to become a full-time flipper/contractor, then doing tighter jobs can help build momentum for a business, that will pay dividends well beyond just the specific house, itself.
