I recently closed my first conventionally funded investment property in Milwaukee, so currently I don’t have the funds to just run a conventional loan “house hack”.I have submitted pre approval requests to 4-5 VA loan-friendly lenders and each one is denied for the same reason as the last...

I’ve been pre approved for both, and look to start my construction journey in a few months.  

After a quick Home Depot search and a pre-Fourth of July sale I saw a similar model that was selling for $1100.

This pre-2023(I am not counting 2023 REI in this as it's too early).

And many of them ended up buying some pre-construction condo before they even left the country.

First step would be to take to a lender to get pre-approved, that will determine what properties that you can look at and what price points.

Something I picked up from Tax Sales.Skip tracing could help find people for wholesaling or pre-forclosures.The opportunity is legit.

They gave me a blank pre approval and said put whatever numbers you want on it.

Not entirely sure, but she may be able to pre-pay 3-6 months upfront to make up for her qualifying shortcomings.  

(7%*(1-.3)You're being mislead by your model IRRs unless you also incorporate the HYSA balance you'll need to carry to keep the deal leveraged.You're also being mislead by the points you originally paid.
