I can rationalize that instead of putting 100k down I'd be slowly putting money in annually while building equity.

At 50% expense ration, you're buying a 5.2% Cap.

For all I know your VA Loan AUS results say "no calculation of debt to income ration required," which does in fact happen with VA loans (and ONLY with VA loans), but the BBMC person didn't think to check!

You do what any rational landlord would do and file for eviction. 

Also in my state, the seller would typically have the agreement be contingent upon them finding a replacement property - or do a rent-back, which it sounds like they were asking for (though one year is an unheard-of rent back period for me, I too would have laughed and said no.)Sellers in financial hardship don't always act rationally, especially if they have an agent who may be giving them lousy advice.

Neither includes "virtual" return terms and rationalizations (appreciation, tax savings, etc...), but CoCR is just cash.  

At the time the market was rationing out build-worthy inner cit lots and I had to jump quickly to get one.  

Rates, terms, amortizations, Int only, buy down options, LTVs, FICO requirements, debt rations, how you price your income, alternative qualification products, etc.

So I did the most rational thing I could think of and moved to Australia, the magical land where people intentionally lose money in real estate.One real job and a few more failed side hustles later I wanted to get serious about real estate.

What does that mean in regards to getting qualified for future traditional loans, I assume now it is in a traditional bank my dept to income ration will be affected.
