We are irritated and exhausted and just want to talk to someone trustworthy.Does anyone here have or know of someone with a 3-4 bed, 2 bath single-family property for rent starting in September?

Once you have exhausted all calls, go with the best terms. 

Also, I would be a bit hesitant to buy a house with standing water in the basement.

Use the crap out of that 0% down benefit, but make sure you are purchasing correctly to maximize the use of the VA loan to exhaustion.

At the end of the day, nobody knows what will occur in the future, and because nobody knows, your financial models need to be able to withstand worst-case scenarios (for instance, market downturns, significant vacancy, huge capex, significant wage increases for personnel, tenant lawsuits, etc.)...and $2,700/month cashflow isn't close to being enough to offset the work and the risk of 40+ units...Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the good news is: there are always other deals to be found, and there are always other opportunities for success in RE (if you put in the work).Good luck out there!

Quote from @Peter Morgan: Those are designed to withstand hail just like the rest of the roof.

Easy to clean, can withstand water damage or staining, pet and child resistant.

Typical residential bathroom exhaust fans are in the ball park of 70 cfm and can vary greatly. 

We had to get some rewiring done in general and for a bathroom exhaust fan that was previously placed above the shower (instead of in the middle of the bathroom).

LLCs exist for a reason, and, when created and operated in the right way, they will generally withstand a challenge.
