I'm already pre-approved with another lender with no problems, but Rocket mortgage holds the VA loan.

I just used Rocket Mortgage.

You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure this out!

The good thing about this is that it’s not rocket science :) But I do appreciate thinking through your process and documenting it.

U played the cards you were dealt so you got a full house next step is try to get that royal flush and you get that buy having properties sky rocket in value.. 

Thank god it was me......I won't go on and on about gentrification or huge growth markets or massive profit potential I just know that the Silicon Valley will replicate it's self with electic cars or desalination technology or who knows what in some other areas of our state and values will sky rocket again and again and again...... it's happened 6 times in my lifetime, boom and bust are part of the California real estate reality and I love it.  

Have prices for rental properties sky rocketed in proportion to rents?

It's not rocket science, but you should find someone who specializes in real estate.

I have been looking for profitable locations to buy my first SFH for short term rentals, the prices of real estate has sky rocketed that its hard to find the right location to get decent CAP rate.

Roofing isn't rocket surgery, although there is some art to it.
