Quentin, build your knowledge, make sure all this is done correctly.Banks rarely call the loan just because of the deed being transferred, something else triggers this, mostly because the investor decides education is not worth the money.It can be because the Insurance was not done correctly, the seller does not understand the process, the Title Company does not know what to do so they call the Bank and make a mess out of the process and a few other factors,If the investor is knowledgeable on what to say to the Bank if they call this is a fairly simple conversation to have.

Quote from @Brandon Stelling: Is there anyone who can help me understand how to leverage real estate investing being a military vet with 100% VA disability benifits?  

Thanks Brandon Rizzo for understanding here.

I joined with the intent to surround myself with others in the field and build my confidence and understanding of the subject matter (:I live a disciplined lifestyle when managing my expenses and living below my means.

Seems odd as this would be a business expense for my business.  

I read through them and ensure understanding with many tenants before signing.

You will want to understand taxes and applicable laws.

Your goal of acquiring your first single-family rental by early 2025 is both ambitious and exciting.A few thoughts as you navigate this market:• Local Insight: Since regional nuances can make a big difference, tapping into local brokers and contractors who understand the Hudson Valley and Catskills can provide a valuable edge when evaluating properties.• Creative Financing: Keep an open mind to creative financing strategies; sometimes thinking outside the traditional box can reveal opportunities others might overlook.On a related note, I help investors streamline their operations by generating quality leads and assisting with VA hiring, which might be useful as you build your team and network in the area.Looking forward to seeing your progress and sharing insights along the way.

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

The bigger thing is understanding that pre-approvals give you a ballpark, but your actual rate gets locked only when you have a signed contract.
