And yeah Marquette, MI is an appreciating market and a college town where everyone complains about increasing rents (and their bad landlords).Hopefully I can still find a few properties that can cash flow anything, no matter how small, with zero down but I'll have to see if they'll pass VA inspection too.

@Shawn Tuma & @Chris KayVery difficult in today's market to cashflow putting 0% down:(5-10 years ago it was possible, but prices have increased faster than rents.Your best bet is to find a property that needs work, but will still pass a VA appraisal/inspection. 

But if not and there isn't anything noticeably wrong upon inspection, it's probably still priced too high. 

During inspection, it was learned that there was  a fire at some point in basement.

You can also inspect yourself, but it may be intermittent.

If a landlord needs to enter a property for an inspection or repair, a two-day notice is required.

The final straw was when my property went into abatement after an inspection, due to the property management company's failure to address tenant requests for the exact items that caused the issue.

Much of my career was focused on REO properties, during which I ran a parallel small business that handled property inspections and performed BPOs for banks.

Both homes went through inspections, built in 1920 but renovated by previous owners. . 

The rent guarantee was never deposited without several reminders that it was past due.In May 2018, ABC told us that the house was almost done, and we could hire a licensed Home Inspector to inspect the home.
