Apartments ect.Call your county health and human services building and ask for a list of subsidized housing.

They will also stay forever, and fight tooth and nail if you try to evict because they know they wont be able to find another Sec 8 unit available.Example, I just looked at 2 fourplexes in south troy last week, they havent had a vacanacy in years, the units are rented for 700/mo, yet the owners can't get 100k for either after a year on the market, and theyre decent buildings.

Dont worry TOO much about condition, but yes, VA will require the seller fix things that are health and hazard issues.  

I am 65 years old, in excellent health ( go to YMCA 3 days a week walk 3 miles almost every day).

Hi Scott,If you are talking about SFR housing only that is pretty long in the tooth for the housing cycles in most parts of the country.If you are talking about other asset classes they are in varying stages of recovery.

They will fight you tooth and nail to prove you are wrong. 

The lender, a dear friend has some health issues, and I wish to repay by refinancing.

The sellers are stuck.Solution:  buy subject too the debt.  

I'm new here too. The
