@Dontrea Riser a DEVIATED mindset - cash flow is equal to how much value you can provide to your inhabitants.

When I wrote that I was thinking that the 4-plexes for $100k per unit are intact and inhabitable vs. your place that needs a lot of work. $118 per unit is not that far off from the $100k I quoted and the big question is; what is your total cost going to be when you are completed with each of your units?

The active, veteran & retired military personnel along with DOD civilians & contractors are a big influence on the real estate market in the local Fayetteville, Fort Bragg area. 

First of all, GC receives 50% of material costs at closing and 3-4 draws after, secondly, you don’t need to make mortgage payments during renovation up to 6 months if property is inhabitable and thirdly you have about 9 months to finish the renovation.

The downside of that is that the inhabitants of south Dallas are going to be going somewhere.  

Other than that everything I've read and heard from lenders is you need to have a job that transfers over from military to civilian or have at least 6 months at your civilian job before you can qualify. 

To that point an income property in Yuba City may likely be inhabited not by a commuter to Sacramento or Roseville, but rather an employee of a Yuba City business.

We have tried for over two weeks to have the company fix these issues and they are not resolved.In addition to all of this, we have learned that the house was inhabited by squatters for years.  

I would assume they're the descendants of the Phoenicians, Jebusites and other groups who've been inhabiting that region for thousands of years.

I understand the person is a civilian and my entitlement would remain with the loan until refinanced or paid off.My question is if any one here has had experience with VA loan assumptions and if my plan has been done before which is:Either A: Have a clause that gives them a certain time period to refinance the loan to free up my entitlementor B: Offer more money for keeping the entitlement for the remaining 25 years.
