Additionally, we're uncertain about the impact on the supply.

The numbers seemed to work (meets the 1% rule which seems to be unusual for new construction) and we visited Ocala several times to do on the ground due diligence.  

Even worse as the pay is uncertain, kinda low and you have to work weekends. 

The future is a bit uncertain – some folks say rates might go down, but no one's sure.

I have seen a huge uptick in activity out there and represented 2 buyers in Kellogg this last month alone, which is unusually high for that area.

Good on you asking questions like this - even tho they are basic, there are probably a lot more people out who are also uncertain about these kinds of things.

It seemed worth trying again.Perhaps you did not notice, but based on the replies received in my other post, https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/743817-unusual-tax-question-is-this-money-for-nothing-is-it-tax-free?

I would ask your agent if it's unusual in your market if it's a concern and if it will affect the rentability of the unit/demand.10K cash I'm guessing that's down to the VA loan? 

You won't typically get to choose your appraiser if you're getting a hard money loan so that's not unusual.

I feel like we could, I am only uncertain of what the occupancy rate would be.
