I have my father's 30 year old contracting company at my disposal, I work directly with an in house mortgage lender at my office as well as a property management company (which I would primarily use on a consulting only basis to begin with) and I have 2-3 options for creatively financing my first few deals. 

Come 2019 we will have great w2 income, and we'll be ready to dive in aggressively with our disposable income.

I currently have $60,000 in cash at my disposal and I plan to use $50,000 for the down payment and rehab of the first property. 

Federal law (EPA) requires asbestos be disposed of at an approved facility. 

Mostly we need a disposal changed out in the kitchen, heater that is not functional and needs looked at, several outlets need changed out to GFCI and other outlets with open grounds on the 3rd prong need changed out.

Re-using entitlement Once a Veteran uses his or her entitlement, it cannot be reused until 1) Original loan is paid in full. 2) The VA is notified of the fact that it has been paid off by the original lender. 3) The house is disposed of (No longer owned by Veteran) Closing Costs: Seller may pay any and or all closing costs, including the loan origination fee up to 4%. 

Also, lots of yard debris that should have been swept up and disposed of. 

$10,000 a month is quite a lot of disposable money. 

Is this a sound strategy if I have the disposable income to cover vacancy periods & repairs? 

The cigarette butt disposal and smoking are detailed in the lease as well.
