There’s a lot of misinformation out there, particularly around VA loan assumptions—one common misconception is that you have to be a veteran to assume a VA loan, which isn’t true!

Please note that contrary to common belief a lender can NOT prohibit a transfer, they could only declare such transfer a item that allows them to accelerate the note.Up until now, very few notes have been “called” due when title has transferred.  

Both common issues for hosts!

No money down is out there but it's not common and comes with risk

Sounds like we may have a few things in common on that! 

If you prefer to be hands-off with full-service management, then I'd plan on paying around 20% commission as that's pretty common.

For average investors without large amounts of capital to deploy this is a common approach to growing a portfolio.

Quote from @Sarah Kensinger: In some properties we might stash some under the bathroom sink in case a guest forgot theirs, but it's not something common we do.

Quote from @Steven Stanimirovic: Hi Rich,The prepayment penalties you’ve encountered are quite standard with DSCR loans, as lenders often structure these penalties (commonly called "step-down prepayment penalties") to offset the risk of early loan payoff.

That's just common sense.
