@Peter Grange I did attempt to use my VA home loan for my first purchase but ended up missing out because my house has a deed restriction and VA home loan will not qualify a home with any deed restrictions.  

@Justin Hudson if you decide to consider house hacking to start out (and you don’t currently own), VHDA does first-time homebuyer mortgages that are 0% down depending on income restriction limits.

While the sale was still in attorney review, the attorneys for the auction house tried to impose a contract with all kinds of odd exceptions and carve outs that they insisted the buyer accept on the title insurance. 

Marketable title does not mean unrestricted... a property can be subject to restrictions such as CCRs, rights of way, easements and still be considered marketable. 

Some custodians do have certain restrictions as to what they will process, but that would require speaking with them directly.

Some properties are purpose-built for income restricted residents which could include everything from voucher tenants to folks paying the freight themselves but meeting specific household income limits. 

With repeated practice you can become very good at almost anything thanks to the internet at a much significant price reduction(it’s a lot of misinformation out here but you have to sort though it) that’s why government is attempting to put restrictions on the usage of internet(LOL). 

I wanted to find out if the property is under rent control or any type of restrictions.

What restrictions will I be faced with and should consider with the property?

The HOA restrictions specifically say that "Pets must be kept in a manner that does not disturb the peaceful enjoyment of residents of other lots" and one of the terms of the lease is that the tenant abides by the HOA restrictions.How would you handle this if it continues after you warn the tenant, and the neighbor keeps complaining?
