Company/employer contributions are made when taxes and books are confirmed to be accurate and total maximum amounts are verified by CPA and administrator. 

That Section 8 estimate was lower than the section 8 website stated, but I am intending on contacting the housing authority to verify what the landlord regulations and what they would be willing to pay for said home in the area. his original asking price was $35k, I've slowly worked him down to this point. upon more investigating it looks like the median home price for the area is around $40k, so I am wary about repairs. 

Do you have a lender letter and will you represent to the seller that you have funds readily verifiable for a down payment?

Hi Devon,You don't need "traditional employment," you need income that can be verified - typically by tax returns - and that jives well with the payments on the debt that you currently have and on the amount of debt you are trying to take on.Rental income 'counts.'

The Title Company is issuing title insurance and they can't in good faith issue a warranty deed and the insurance without verifying this transfer.

In my local MLS market, the RE taxes are itemized on the MLS report (which I can then verify through the municipality's web site).How does it work in VA?  

Make sure they have actual verifiable experience and that your personalities mesh well.

On the other hand if you wholesale it and get it under contract for $60K and assign it for a $5K fee, then you take a short cut to getting to your $5K profit, but you miss the opportunity to learn the rehab part.As has been said before, verify your numbers...trust no one's numbers but your own, assume nothing.

If they're discouraging you from renovating and discouraging you from renting it out, I'd probably want to verify that with a couple other brokers in the area.Also, it's not clear what you mean when you say your mom is letting you just take the house.

@Jim JaworowiczIf you inspect the unit and they take care of it and you have verified they have a solid payment history, I wouldn’t be too concerned.
