Furthermore, I can't teach the VA everything because that's very time consuming.If you are interested in forming a loose partnership in splitting a VA cost and resources let me know. 

Miscellaneous other items (i.e. loose faucets, some outlets not working, sliding back door jammed, etc)The seller offered us a $5k credit, however we think it should be much higher (around 10K).

All my unit required was paint and cleaning.Loss of use was not covered under my renters policy since the unit was not occupied at the time of the fire and I had it under contract to sell.I was wondering if the association, owners, insurance company, or restoration company were liable for the excessive repair time?

I send the notice with either a check for the difference or a bill for what they owe in excess of their deposit.  

I bought my first rental, the loan wouldn’t close unless the entire exterior of the home was scraped of loose paint and repainted.

Perhaps I missed it and would love to see where in the bill it states that capital gains must be used. https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/828/text#toc-H2CE36B67ACCC4F89BD0B2571450C0176The portion of an OZ fund interest attributable to any capital invested in excess of the qualified gain amount is not eligible for the OZ tax exemption. 

Loose the pool, and loose the liability. 

I own one property (using it as a house hack) and am hopefully going to be closing on a duplex within the coming month (using the BRRR strategy to get my capital and hopefully a little excess back).

Or bought a new roof, heck even repaired a roof outside of a few loose tiles.

You own 3 rentals bought at 100k but in 2006 worth 200k, fast forward a few years and you sell for break even or maybe loose a little.
