Quote from @Alex Hunt: Happy to connect regarding all funding options! 

They were not really interested in hunting down properties for me, rather they just wanted to manage it once I brought it to them.

Any luck with Rentec @Jessica Hunt?

It may actually be a selling point as the back 40, so to speak, is against a huge plot of private hunting land that won't ever be developed because of the topography. 

Most scenarios do not end up looking like that.Find a lender that you really like and can honest and up front with, and have a good dialogue of your goals with the property besides hunting for the best rate, because that usually ends up poorly...

Happy to connect at any time and good hunting!

I've been house hunting in Greece, Hungary, Estonia, Latvia, and Portugal.

It would be located near a wedding venue, hunting retreat, and about 25 minutes outside of a major university town (e.g. could rent for college football gamedays). 

At the VA website, it clearly states that:VA home loans can be used to Build a homeSimultaneously purchase and improve a homehttp://www.benefits.va.gov/HOMELOANS/purchaseco_eligibility.aspThat being said, we're on the hunt for lenders that offer VA Rehab loans, i.e. the second on that list.
