I love finding VA Assumption Loan deals and have personally secured one so far as a rental property with a 3.3% interest rate. 

Purchase price: $420,000 Cash invested: $55,096 Purchased a distressed single-family home in Antioch, CA, using the BRRRR strategy to create $141,000 in equity and secure a cash-flowing rental property.

However, many DSCR lenders have a minimum loan amount of $100K, which can make it challenging for investors to secure financing for lower-priced properties. 

Keep in mind, though, that each lender has their own criteria for how much future potential they’ll factor in, so it might come down to some skillful negotiation and presenting detailed projections that don’t feel like puffery.Just be careful not to come off as overly speculative…lenders tendd to shy away from what sounds too good to be true.Anyway, I’m curious.. have you spotted any other investors in Gainesville facing a similar refinance puzzle and what kind of terms were they able to secure? 

There is a John Deere dealer about 5 miles away. 

My investors acquire with cash as a routine investment strategy to secure properties quickly and eliminate competing buyers using financing.

We have secured a home equity loan against our home (which we own out right with no mortgage payment).

As I’m saving up for my first investment, I would like to learn more about the industry - and it would be nice to earn some income while doing so.Are there any specific skills or knowledge I need to secure a VA side gig? 

Glad to hear you were able to secure it.

With $200K-$250K, you can secure high-quality rental properties in both cities while benefiting from steady appreciation, strong rental demand, and landlord-friendly laws.Oklahoma City has a rapidly growing economy, with major industries like aerospace, energy, healthcare, and tech fueling job growth.
