In the worst-case scenario, I might have to deal with negative cash flow and stay in the property longer than planned, delaying my second investment until I find a good solution.

Surprisingly, they agreed, allowing us to close the deal quickly and on much better terms.One crucial aspect of seller carry financing is recognizing the tax advantages it offers, especially through a 1031 exchange.

My valuation shows negative cash flow.

The appealing aspect here is the ongoing population growth and other economic factors.

Add in inflation on everything but especially home owners insurance and the expenses are significantly higher than just a couple years ago.  1% rent to purchase ratios have negative cash flow and the average ratio is below 0.5%.  

Overall, I learned there are many aspect sand parts in a Flip: from Realtor, City Inspector, City Code, Contractor, Designer etc.

You may have a grasp on this aspect, but there are items to consider that can play a big factor when choosing your land such as topography, existing zoning & platted lot status, minimum/maximum requirements such as parking, detention, size of building, setbacks.  

I have no recommendation positive or negative.

Actually, the majority probably are somewhat reasonable in their expectations and although their questions may smack of naivety, they just want some knowledge at to real estate investing.However, for the minority that come to the forum with an “attitude”, they seem to possess all the negative characteristics of entitlement.  

Negatives to VA Loans- Seller pays for termite Inspection-Termite damage needs to be repaired- VA property condition requirements- Longer close times- VA borrowers are typically, but not always, First Time Home Buyers, so all the perils that go along with that.- VA Borrowers very often tends toward very subpar lenders like USAA for instance.
