I sense your frustration.

That coupled with organic leads from the same platform makes sense to me. 

I am trying to see if it makes financial and/or market sense to rehab them and possibly rent them out or just leave them as-is.

Makes sense.  

But then I thought to myself, what if the numbers did make sense?

I don’t feel a house hack is needed because you have the capital to start out anyway that makes sense to you.

@Joshua TellesDepends on the interest rate you can get and the equity you have.If your rates on your existing properties are lower than today’s rates then it does not make sense to refinance for higher rate debt.

> With a double deposit, you have $2,000 on reserve and they are more likely to want that money backThanks @Nathan Gesner, that makes more sense to me.

Definitely makes sense to max out the VA before I lean towards an FHA Loan.

I have run spreads to no end and if/when interest rates fall there is a point where OPM would make sense for this approach.
