A VA loan is marketed to people who are broke and CAN"T put any money down because they have none to put down.  

Should I go ahead with stocks, put in T Bonds and then invest when things stabilize or invest in some other asset (real estate, agriculture which is also looking risky at the moment, something else I haven’t thought of)?

If they don;t sell they will be in a heap of trouble.

My partner works full-time but has a less stressful and more flexible schedule.

You should have 25% down payment + closing costs, + an oh Sh*t fund on top of that. 

It allows you to skip the stress and time-consuming process of managing rehab projects and focus on the cash flow aspect. 

Inventory will naturally tick up, because of what I feel is misdirection of agents by stressing spring season selling.

This doe t mean that the poster is someone in cohorts or a “supporter” of the person, business or methodology you claim defrauded you.Based on my posts in the other thread on the same topic, I have been receiving emails providing additional information purported to show proof of fraud, though I have NO WAY of verifying it.  

Also, don’t stress about making your first deal perfect.
