@Amanda Nelson Hi Amanda, it’s true that an investor can assume a VA loan.

That's just not true.

We have used every strategy, technique and tactic that the gurus teach as their own.  

Half of all marraiges end in divorce and no one goes into a marraige thinging that they will get divorced from the love of their life...the same is true for business partnerships.

Detached HousesWhen in doubt, consider the tried-and-true detached single-family house.

They are top notch and are one of the few lenders I consider to be a true STR lender.  

Again, if your $250k is true, and includes all the electrical upgrades, new plumbing runs, potentially new foundation pour (since I assume the existing garage slab is not capable of supporting a new two story house), I am guessing since I don't know the market, but assume you will have a lot of equity by completing the project.

Buy and holds is the key to true wealth with all the benefits of depreciation, appreciation, loan pay down by your tenants, leveraging the equity, cash-flow etc etc, but it often times isn't the active income that pays the bills until you build up a portfolio and even then there's the tenant management or managing your property managers.That's why I'm involved in all 3.

Yes, This is true! 

2) The minimum hours required are 750 hrs, but if running a short term rental, 100 hrs is supposed to be adequate, is that still true ?
