We gutted the bathroom and kitchen and not too long after we realized that we lacked the manpower to rehab this property within the allotted time of the HML term.

you both can walk away from the deal at any point and did they have insurance....what I'm saying is most ppl sell as is due to lack of funds/interest in fixing the problems because they could invest $10k and make $50k when selling I would have the place reinspected and attempt to lower the price to cover most of the damages your already at the table nearing the finish line you have allot more power than you think speak to your attorney as to what you stand to loose by walking away like earnest money if u can accept what he says you stand to loose NEGOTIATE who else is coming to buy these pls damaged hurricane prone home but you, just FYI my first house asking was 380k as is I offered $300k then did an inspection and came down another $7k i represented myself the sellers agent yelled and cursed at me claimed I was trying to steal the house we closed 3 months later your at the table your better off doing the renovations yourself anyway 

That still allots power and influence.2 & 3.

Using a realtor and paying their commissions to sell quickly would net you less but could be a plan B You may use your contractor, or other investors to sell to if A & B do not work in the time allotted by the HML timeline.

@Kevin just a quick correction, you can have multiple VA loans up to your max VA allotment.

I will say this about book and how relevant they are and how much time should be allotted for them.

The minute after they signed the lease her mother parks a beat up car with a missing tire in their allotted parking spot!

Then, after clearly defining my goal, I realized that I had to shift my strategy and reinvest the cashflow into more properties to meet my goal in the time frame I allotted. 

Unless you were referring to our gross income, which is about $15k/month which would bring us up to an alloted monthly payment of $3750/month.

My husband showed me that if he worked 9-5 the rest of our lives, I’d be stuck saving money for vacation and having to work around his allotted “vacation time”.
