David T.Thank you so much for your prompt response.

I will generally keep the people around that will answer service calls promptly and offer fair rates.3) As far as loans in this area, I'd suggest Langley Federal, Navy Federal, or USAA.

Conversely though as soon as I leave this station I will be out of the military and I will promptly buy another house, even in Ca., I love appreciation.

Hi @Greg Rulfs Thanks so much for your prompt reply!

My husband has a full-time job and is very supportive.I will be a cash buyer (some savings + HELOC) and plan to rehab 1-3 properties in 2016.We are currently trying to estimate our budget for overhead costs, and this is what prompted me to write here.  

Always do a math analysis and try to look at a prospective property before you bid or at least have a clause in the sales contract that will allow you some time (about 15 days) to make a detailed inspection and possibly back out of the deal without a penalty that will hurt y'all too much.Look for a Team full of professional local and experienced members that are willing to help you and return your phone calls promptly.  

Wow, Thank You so much for the prompt replies!

I somehow OKed the surveyor to give a copy to everyone, my agent, LA, closing co...and prompted the closing agent to notice a discrepancy in the original legal description which amounts to a typo, but they cancelled the closing and FNMA had to reforeclose.Another short sale I was the buyer they wanted, even had a verbal was waiting for it to get signed, then I noticed they had fenced in a strip of land about a 12' wide across the back that is supposed to be part of an alley, but the fence had been there for 20 years and no one noticed or complained.

Thank you everyone for your prompt responses.

He is always good with emails & texts and replies promptly and respectfully.
