Purchase price: $100,000 Cash invested: $10,000 My business partner and I bought a massage therapy clinic and a teahouse on 1/29/2020.

If you are currently in a VA loan, I would recommend doing an interest rate reduction loan into a conventional to restore your entitlement.

You do get a one time restoration were you get to zero out of your VA so it does not count against you.

Without too much fluff i'll cut to the chase, as someone who does not have a "team" ready to deploy for the various services needed to restore a home, how do I begin constructing said team?

@Darrick LoweGo buy everything at the ReStore owned/operated by Habitat for Humanity.

There are folks here who specialize in fire restorations and will probably have more ideas.

We recently sold a rental and have some cash- ($60K) we are bidding on a partially  restored farmhouse at auction.

(https://www.accountingtoday.com/articles/bidens-775b-plan-paid-with-real-estate-taxes)Biden's plan would also eliminate capital gains tax rates for those making over $1 million and subject that income to tax at the former top ordinary income bracket of 39.6%: As President, Biden will roll back the Trump rate cut for the very wealthy and restore the 39.6% top rate he helped restore when he negotiated an end to the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy in 2012.

If you massage numbers to make it work, you're setting up for failure.
