We can survive 50% hit to rental income for just under five years by exhausting business cash reserves.

I just purchased this house that was built in 1969 and it has these exhaust fans, one in the kitchen and one in living room.  

Might want to exhaust (or rather attempt to as it's not likely one could) the information available on this site and the plethora of books available first

The expensive caulk expands and contracts with the weight of the tub preventing leaks unlike the cheap caulk that leaks and harbors bacteria growth.If a bathroom doesn't have a ceiling exhaust fan but a window for ventilation do not expect the tenant to open that because of being lazy or the weather outside.

Have you exhausted your free resources and taken action on the information you gained from them?

Even if you could qualify for as many VA loans as you wanted, they're not always the fastest and cheapest method of financing, so i would suggest exhausting all other financing options first.

In the basement, I was a little leery about the exhaust vents that went from the hot water tanks into the chimney due to a slight negative pitch on the ducts, as well as some gaps in the ducting (CO issue).

Marlon,My experience has been exhausting dealing with foreclosures.

They are technically available for purchase of real estate, but I would exhaust every other means of funding before tapping your building nest egg for a real estate purchase.
