With that said, buying investment property all cash with no loan is your best best for the highest returns and the quickest/cleanest closings.2) Traditional financing (i.e. conventional, FHA, or VA) would not be the best fit for this strategy.

@Joshua Hilliard You might want to consider using your VA to purchase a 4 unit. 

It seems like Northern Virginia market is incredibly hot.

My dog and I went through over a year of VA sponsored training as a team and I don't even use him outside the house now. 

The second contractor that I hired came in and completed his job and even corrected mistakes that he made.On my second whole house rehab I used a retail contractor and I pushed to keep cost down by purchasing my materials and stay within my timeline ( no that didn't work too well) I will be embarking on another rehab soon and I need to find honest contractors who work with rehabbers to help keep cost down and stay on the time line.I live in the DMV ( DC, Maryland , Virginia area ) and need some good recommendations.

I hire a guy from MD for my jobs in fairfax county va

My credit score is pretty good plus I can use VA loan.4.

What are the likely consequences for filing a complaint on a person who publicly claims to be a Class A contractor in Virginia but holds no license at all?

I am not a fan of USDA or VA loans for that reason.

So they’ve got some VA who calls the lead first.
