It takes the pressure off as deadlines approach and gives you room to solve unexpected issues.

The percentage increase was off the charts, but the dollar amounts - not so much. 

Would anyone have a template or example of what they made that they could send me to build mine off of?

Tax on Appreciation is deferred and can be put off indefinitely with current rules.  

@Rae Chris sounds like you are off to a good start.

Any special process or just fell them and skid them to a landing deck them then haul them off ? 

If you are trying to come up with a way to finagle the occupancy requirements while using an amazing loan (that you earned based on your service) like a VA, I would say you are starting off on the wrong foot.

Definitely focusing on offmarket or even on market multifamily homes (minimum 4 units). started off in real estate development last 2 years but the paydays are brutal building then waiting to sell.So now looking to switch up strategies to purchase cashflowing properties and then get back to ground up construction or even possible fix and flips. 

Probably even more from the bad deals..Long term you are better off with better real estate.

Other than that, you can prepare a simple notice letting them know that you thank them for applying, however they did not meet the criteria, and you can choose to tell them it was based off of their credit, and or background or simply just say that the minimum requirements were not met.
