Or worse yet what if the person is "willing to pay above market rent" because they have bad credit (doesn't intend to pay), no verifiable income (can't pay), or a track record for trashing rentals?

If you were qualified for a VA loan (no money down), have great credit, six figure income to show the bank, how would you get started on becoming a full time real estate investor in the NEAR term?

I have listened to at least half of the BP podcasts so far and have read Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Book On Managing Rental Properties, and a few others in preparation for my first real investment.

Ive taken everything into consideration and prepared for the worst.There was a huge variance in observations from the inspector to contractor.

Of course communicated and preparing for every situation and getting involved in a good investment is always key.

I agree with Jeff Beard in general on this, because a lot of tenants are not that neat and clean or have way too much furniture, or will have the place in a state of chaos as they are preparing to move.

I am preparing to take my RES exam before the new year and hoping to transition my full time position into Real Estate soon.  

My qustion is in regards to Business Credit.

It is a lot of paperwork, so be prepared. 

I want to give renter a right to purchase at market price at end of lease and they would also get credited towards 25% of appreciation if they finish lease term and choose to buy.
