@Jo Weiss - you still need to serve him notice. 

Personally I don't do short term rentals unless they are done through one of the companies who place insurance clients due to fire, flood, etc. 

Two common techniques I have incorporated with clients is to use a double corporation strategy or the utilization of a discretionary irrevocable trust.

Due to the number and magnitude of the claims a CRE clients of mine has suggested an attorney who will coordinate w/ their public adjusters on my behalf.

Now that I'm close to beginning my career I figured I'd be well served by a good introduction.

Once a tenant is late, we commence the process of serving a Notice to Vacate.

People with good credit are rewarded with same.a little off topic but when i was activly HML in Mississippi I had a pretty significant LOC with Trustmark .. and when talking to my banker there he told me they really focused on the medical profession.. providing all the capital for those folks to buy their homes with minimal down include the furniture and cars etc etc.. i could not figure out how these under 40 doctors were living in million dollar homes with 300k in toys :)  the banker said once we have these doctors as clients we have them for life and their entire banking needs.My personal banker in Oregon their bank really goes after Dentists .. and they do the same thing.  

I found that different lenders have different approaches to how the enforce and take on a VA loan client. 

If a client purchases an entire kitchen remodel for $25,000, it does NOT increase the value of their home $25,000. 

You and your wife are both entitled to utilize a VA loan for a home purchase due to the fact that you have both served on active duty and meet all the requirements to qualify.
