U know I can and will ask the lender but curious if any other veterans have done this.ThanksPete

Yes, you will have access to a VA loan with 100% financing, however:This doesn't to you a whole lot of good if you are only in a duty station for a few monthsDepending on your rank, duty station, and other factors, you may be required to live on base at timesVA loans are only for owner occupantsYour purchase price will still be dictated by your credit and income (see first bullet above), andIt can be extremely risky to buy with 100%+ financing at the peak of the market (I say 100%+ because many servicemembers and veterans roll their VA funding fee into their loan, which can leave them leveraged at 102% or more - with negative equity).

I'm a veteran and know there is a program similar to a 203k but don't have the fine details yet. 

Daylight LED lighting therefore makes it harder for an appraiser to take ugly, poorly white-balanced photographs of your house.Looking back at my original post, I did not make this clear at all.

We did that, but I brought in a 40-year experienced veteran with over 40,000 units of experience and who has started national multifamily management platforms six times in his career. 

I'm a retired Air Force veteran and I work full time as a maintenance supervisor for an apartment complex. 

My hopes in this post are to get connected to more real estate photographers here in the Tampa Bay area. 

USDA (not all towns), VA (Veterans only - with a DD214), NACA (has some hurdles to jump through.Alternatively, we could negotiate an option, which lets you tie the property up while you organize your finances.There's some due diligence to go through - price, condition and location.That said, you might be able to find the right home faster than you think. 

Hopefully someone can help shed some light on what my options here are:I've been speaking to my dad, who is a service disabled retired veteran, about working together on some REI deals.

You should hit up @David Pere and join his mastermind group that is specifically for military members/veterans who are also real estate investors.
