As an active-duty (soon transitioning) Air Force myself, I know the VA loan is a powerful asset for us.

Never underestimate the power or preparation and setting yourself up for future success! 

To save those costs, you might want to stick to some year build and older, for example, if you cannot do inspections on the properties that you are buying due to off-market deals or something else that is hindering you (all sellers I buy from do not want anyone in the home till we close).

Very significant, and demostrates the power of compounding interest.

Procrastination will only cost them more. yep. carrying costs alone, but also if its not your money and investor money - some will try and drag it out. 

But again, your profit after selling costs (and any capex improvements) would have to be in excess of $60ok to really make sense.
