You can look into low-income neighborhoods usually the properties are of lower value, but I'm not quite sure if that applies everywhere but I know in Florida I see it here and there, and if you need help looking I don't mind helping.i would be wary about REO/HUD owned properties as a first time househack.

If they reject the concession and the replacement costs eat too much into your margins, it might be smarter to walk away unless the property has other strong advantages.I’d also weigh the long-term costs.

The build process to include funding can be quite lengthy and difficult. 

I've been looking into Ogden quite a bite and was curious to hear other opinions.

In fact there are quite a few sellers who will opt to go with a different buyer solely because they don't want to deal with the perceived headaches of a VA buyer underwriting process.

The wife can get her name off of the property by doing a quit claim deed to him, but that does not get her name off of the loan.

It’s quite appealing as a long term investment - even at today’s rates.

Quite the interesting scenario.
