Hi , I pretty much found many of them to be around the same but what I do recommend and what I did was call as many local banks and credit unions as I could and ask them rates , amortization schedule, origination fees, pre payment  penalties , refinance options if rates go down , as many things as you can think of  and write it all down for each one.

Your agent should be able to connect you to a lender that would have experience with the VA process.Quick primer on VA loans.https://www.va.gov/housing-***...One of the things I did since my first purchase was to write down in a log all the mistakes I made with each  property.

SendilIn order to withhold rent they need to have notified you in writing about any issues and allowed you seven days to rectify.

You can write it up in the Purchase and Sale Agreement.I would exhaust all options with the seller before going hard or private money.

Because of this, I'm exploring what it would look like to begin investing in vacation rental real estate as a way to:1 - Save on taxes by taking depreciation2 - Hold long-term appreciating assets3 - Have properties where we enjoy vacationing that we can stay at when we go to do maintenance (probably 2 areas).What resources would you recommend for someone just starting out who has these specific goals?

Tenant B has the option to enjoy W/D for a set, flat monthly fee.

When you write the lease are you starting it on the 1st of the month and prorating those 7-9 days?

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Now they write the offer and send it online.

When your tax professional calculates your UDFI tax, you can obtain information from the asset sponsor for potential write-offs.
