So I know that the Los Angeles area is notorious for being "impossible" to cashflow.

It is simply important to understand the motivation behind the sellers, it isn't always about the amount of the offer, but a lot of time about the ease of closing.I wouldn't get discouraged, and it nowhere impossible to get a great deal with your VA loan.

Couple that with high paying tech and venture capital in SF it's nearly impossible to save up for a house in a nice area unless your company IPOs.

It’s almost impossible to find good management companies and is far more than people think to optimize there own properties but vacation rental even run at 50% of revenue potential can be profitable so most people think they manger there place well.

I felt like I got a great off market deal but literally finding any licensed contractor to do work in my market feels near impossible right now.

Getting a contract accepted with FHA in the current environment in Northern Virginia would be essentially impossible. 

They see their life as surviving toward retirement, and when they get there, getting their Social Security payment and a Section 8 housing voucher.Well, it's almost impossible to get a Section 8 voucher if you have an eviction and an unpaid judgment by a landlord on your record.

If you provide more info about contingencies and the deal overall someone on here might be able to help, but it's impossible to know without more info. 

If you do cash out, use a 1031 and increase your cashflow 5x in a different Midwest market...getting away from renovation cost at turnover is impossible...it will happen eventually, and $3k is super cheap for turnover costs...

I see a ton of reasons why you wouldn't touch it and I'm surprised you are even asking the question.When the market is hot, finding a property to flip may be nearly impossible on the MLS.
