Instead of vague alt text like “Modern kitchen,” try something like “Chef’s kitchen perfect for group meals or private dinners.”

You could put seller financing on second position and get financing for the first and do a 90% CLTV.I don't think any lender (unless private) will let you put nothing down.

It's not difficult (shouldn't take long) to get flood insurance quotes (NFIP & private) if you work with a good agent.

And they'll want you to pay off the loan pretty soon (and usually will you as the rate will probably be higher than banks) so there's that too.For this reason, we definitely prefer private lenders as they will (if you've built trust with them) often lend on the rehab too.

If you’ve been affected, please comment below, and we’ll find a way to connect privately to discuss next steps. 

If you’re interested in exchanging further insights on best practices or have specific questions about structuring a VA program, feel free to send me a private message.Good luck with ramping up your direct-to-seller leads!

I'm mostly focused on more passive investments moving forward: syndications and private lending to known reliable entities.

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this.  I have the opportunity to help a family member be part of a joint venture with them putting the down payment down.  They aren’t able to get a mortgage themselves so...

For lenders, I have access to private money lenders or if you want to go the traditional route, I recommend checking out Coast to Coast - Jeff Weller. 

As a would be individual landlord with just a one unit single family property I don’t know I can stomach the risk or withstand a financial assault resulting from an eviction process for a non-paying tenant (or tenants that do extensive damage).I am seriously considering bowing out and selling.
