Another example is an interior french drain system that was needed due to the high water table.

I am a Navy service member, Active Duty, currently stationed in Maryland.  

French Hill, R-Ariz., the bill modernizes the definition of accredited investor so those who do not have a high income or high net worth but do have the education and job experience to evaluate investment risks and merits can participate in the growth of promising companies.

If veteran or can get in, Navy federal is good... 

Demoing the mold isn't tough, but putting in a French drain or perimeter drain and sump pump system can be costly.

I’m senior leadership in the Navy here in OKC.

I have no desire to put myself into a position of default.. but there is risk in everything we do and on that project we made a little over 2 million NET on that in the last 4 months  so i will take it.. and run to the bank.. on a personal side I own no rentals and i have zero debt I own my homes free and clear .. so yes is learned. last go around..Sounds like you learned your lesson and are doing things right this time around (and btw, as a Navy vet, thx for your support of vets with VA loans others won't accept).

Navy fed said they could help as long as I could get the va approval

I am in the military (20 years +) (World's Greatest Navy).

My suggestion: don't buy in D.C. unless you plan on living there for the rest of your Navy career and continue living there after the Navy.
