What type of interview do you do with existing tenant(s) to ask them about maintenance issues?

The Left must resist the urge to “help” with short-sighted, counter-productive policies like rent control.

Appreciate if anyone can provide a rundown of costs to expect with this type of transaction?

The builder usually has some type of warrenty other than that closing is pretty traditional which would have been similar to your first house. 

Since you've stayed there and the lot is open, I see the lure, but any time I see something like this - "This is a pure emotional type of investment and I want to honor it."

What type of strategy do you intend to stabilize with?

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I could see really getting into this and wanting to keep growing the number of properties I own so long as I can keep qualifying for loans, so I need to understand how to transition away from the VA loans once I'm maxed entitlement and keep growing my portfolio.So it's build up equity then huh, and refinance out of the VA loan or cashout to buy on another loan type?

Instead, there should be dollar amounts assigned to specific events, i.e. demolition complete with full haul off, floors broom cleaned, no nails left in studs or subfloors $1,500.Plumbing rough in complete and rough in inspection passed: $4000Final plumbing completed $5000I am clearly making up dollar amounts, but look for these types of bids on large projects.
