I do have another property with some equity if needed in a pinch where something went wrong but I dont want to cash out refi that property yet as rates havent went down and it has a 5.6% fixed rate.

Im thinking if I create a unique listing on Airbnb (After I live in this for a year to meet the VA loan requirements) I can create a competitive advantage by having such a unique property and demand a higher price per night as well as keep the occupancy up.2.

However, it appears they agreed to split the rent 50/50, and one of them is not meeting this agreement.

So while I can't claim to speak for every financial institution out there, it's a very broad survey, finding an option not contained there might involve making quite a few phone calls.When I see 30 year fixed, 30 year amortization, 30 year maturity (basically, identical terms to a consumer-friendly kid-gloves home loan), which does in fact pop up if I specifically search for it, it's almost always at a rather high interest rate, and the borrower doesn't opt for it.

Call me a skeptic but I find it hard to believe there are properties trading in 19147, 19148, 19123 or even 19134 at a 14% cap rate.

Interest rate on the loan is 7.25.

Before you buy you 1st build you awareness of real estate investing, potential team members that you will need over the journey that will likely last the rest of your life and commence recruiting people and investing time seeking out knowledge and WISDOM.Wisdom would say buy in the down cycles of the market and refi cheap when rates are low but investors often have ants in their pants.  

I have served across the U.S. and overseas, developing expertise in strategic mission planning, operational leadership, crisis management and strengthening global partnerships.I am now eager to meet and collab orate with business professionals to start building my real estate portfolio.

I would mention here that a typical condo or single family does not qualify for the Act 60 TOURISM tax credit (which gives you up to 40% back)  - the project needs to meet certain qualifications as a guest house, hotel, villas or bed & breakfast - it can be as little as 3 rooms.  

From your question's verbiage, it sounds like theyre trying to verify the length of self-employment history, probably to meet either the two-year or five-year marks.
