It was definitely a fixer upper, but had everything you wanted nice yard, neighborhood, and 4 bedrooms. 

Using VA funding = fixer uppers may not be approved by the VA Firefighter working 72+ hour shifts = not a lot of down time to finish major construction jobsLooking for $350k < Want to purchase ImmediatelyMust be some kind of house hacking situation VA loan for primary residenceMulti Family =< 4 Units I see all these success stories here on BP and it blows my mind! 

Currently I own (2) duplexes in the Miller Park Area.Property #1, full gut on the upper unit, new everything, lived in it, moved on and its rented.Property #2 purchased late last year,both units were occupied, fixed up both units after the tenants vacated.

Assuming an interest rate in the mid-upper 5's with this one? 

Finally, we realized that we were in one of the best cash-flow rental markets in America and decided to go ahead with getting into real estate through fixer-uppers.

I'm relatively new to real estate so I'm hoping you can offer some useful insight.Applicant 1: Excellent credit, low debt-to-income ratio, upper-middle-class income, very little available cash in bank account (cash is mostly in stock and retirement accounts)Applicant 2: Mediocre credit, better-than-average debt-to-income ratio, middle-class income, enough cash available to almost buy home outright.

I did not get a fixer upper but I know she has experience with that stuff, so I will PM u.
