I went to ask my city when I was burying some electrical conduit in my yard about where the sewer line was regarding its depth and it was so long ago that they had no record.

I was looking on guidance on how to manipulate the VA loan to benefit me but I haven’t really seen anything on here covering the VA loan.

There are none that go in depth about multi-family, and I am looking to change that.

I'm on the search for books that provide in-depth advice.

I am trying to avoid falling into the trap of manipulating the numbers to justify moving forward.

Of course, I would imagine an undertaking like this would require incredibly in-depth demographic and feasibility studies among other things - worst nightmare is to be in debt with your only asset being a beautiful new but vacant building in a location no one wants to be.

Also in regards to reserve/vacancy for STNL a buyer can try and manipulate numbers any way they want and that doesn't change the market demand for these properties.Try to knock down a cap rate based on real NOI from a developer selling or a listing broker when the quality properties they are receiving full asking and 4 offers within days of listing will get an investor laughed at. 

My investment in the 529 is what lead me to look into real estate more in depth.

Let me know if you want me to explain in more depth.  

@Rebecca WilsonProbably (but not certainly - that would require a more in-depth discussion) you have 2 properties for tax purposes.
