Mid thirties couple earning very well (more than 8X rent) with a small pet.

But trust is earned and as I learn more (and remain open to pivoting to MTR and LTR), not sure in our specific case, the 30% is worth it (which is the going rate locally) and can be in the range of $30K+ per year.

Just the other week I was giving a tour to a potential Canadian investor, and they were shocked at how quickly a street goes from mid/high-end to....well, not as desirable.

The new design takes the home from a 3 bed, 2 bath to a 4 bed, 3 bath, 2,400 sq ft rambler on a large lot in highly desired area.

Choose the Right Property:When choosing a house to flip, search for properties in desirable neighborhoods that need structural or cosmetic improvements.

As the cash flow is obviously much worse than you can earn in the bank with a basic CD.

If you are trying to come up with a way to finagle the occupancy requirements while using an amazing loan (that you earned based on your service) like a VA, I would say you are starting off on the wrong foot.

When investors invest their hard-earned money into a project, we expect the highest possible return.

So, in theory one could get a 2:1 leverage, earning the rewards on $2 for every $1 capital spent out of pocket.     

Still has lots of belongings (including a boat) in a large shed on the property... could imply intention to move back, or a desire to not have to deal with it and possible interest in having help getting rid of all this stuff3.
