When you found violations, did you document them in writing, give the tenant a deadline for correction, inspect to verify compliance, and use consequences for continued violations?

Thanks−Chris Birk Veterans United Edward2 months ago@Edward: Thanks for writing.

You can write guest articles on other sites, and have one link back to your site.

In my experience, once the men know that I am the one who writes the checks, their attitude improves remarkably.

You have a talent for writing.

Now, a Mom and Pop style PM.

I could write a book but I think they're outdated. 

If that is the role you are looking to file I'd think you would be paying between 5-10% of project cost.If you are actually looking for this PM to hire subs, write contracts, schedule, order materials...essentially acting as a GC....I would expect you to be paying between 15-25% of the project costs.I can't speak specifically to your market, but those are some ball park percentages based on my experience here in Chicago.

The contractor is basically doing a home inspection and then writing up an estimate .

Some real quick items here:VA Loans are for Primary HomesYou can use VA Loans for 1-4 unit properties (House Hacking)VA Loans have 0% downpayment (most of the time)You can have more than 1 VA loan (some people don't know that)VA Loans do carry a "funding fee" which is like a little "tax" to write the loan, but it is waived if you are a disabled veteran.VA Loans do not have PMI (and that's a huge benefit for us)VA Loans also have a very streamlined refinance feature (called a VA IRRRRL) which makes it super easy to refinance if rates were to fall (hopefully that will occur in the future)VA Loans can also be used by a surviving spouse.The VA may not give us the best health benefits but they can certainly get us into debt!
