@Rud SevIt's really your CPA's job to walk you through your tax return.

Here are a few simple and free ways to learn: Go to real estate meetup groups, attend open houses and speak with the agent there, inspect FSBOs (for sale by owner), walk your area, and speak to people tending their yards.The idea is to engage with other people and ask, Ask, ASK questions about their experience with the local market.Some other ideas: find a home inspector who will let you tag along in a property inspection, and absorb what they are looking at and why.Your mindset and enthusiasm for learning about real estate will open many doors for you.Good Luck!

I try to get feedback from everyone who walks in. 

I think a good first step would to be find a good VA lender and then can walk you through the process.

Have you seen the property-ie actually walked it? 

Then take it through a logical walk through of property.End with other exterior photos of property.

Print off some contact cards, and literally walk door to door. yes, literally knock, introduce yourself, not selling anything, actually looking for some help.

to me I view an inspection contingency as you do it and if something is wrong you present it to the seller and say "hey fix this, reduce the price OR if it was major and really bad just walk away".If no inspection was done, then its unethical but reality is its not worth a seller to sue over it.

I'm in the Atlanta Area myself and I have plenty of experience to walk you through what it looks like and feels like with house hacking. 

Just curious if anyone else has done something similar and wouldn't mind hopping on a call to walk through next steps.
