Yes, you will have access to a VA loan with 100% financing, however:This doesn't to you a whole lot of good if you are only in a duty station for a few monthsDepending on your rank, duty station, and other factors, you may be required to live on base at timesVA loans are only for owner occupantsYour purchase price will still be dictated by your credit and income (see first bullet above), andIt can be extremely risky to buy with 100%+ financing at the peak of the market (I say 100%+ because many servicemembers and veterans roll their VA funding fee into their loan, which can leave them leveraged at 102% or more - with negative equity).

Some security systems will operate over cellular but there is a monthly fee.

Do you have to pay a fee to the broker, because their not making their money, if the T/B isn't going through them and simply referring the T/B to you (for the LO)? 

There are some very specific state laws about the early termination clause and fees in Florida: There is an addendum with specific wording that must be used. 

You can almost certainly pay the appraisal fees at closing.

(At least $2,000/mo rent plus any HOA fees?)

Hi all -I am in the process of closing on my third property, which will be under management with the same company I have been with for years. I am currently paying 10 percent. I was considering asking for a reduction ...

No way I’d go under contract without $500-1000 option fee (on a small SFH) and at least 5-10k on a multiFYI I’m a Cali guy buying in Texas (Houston).

I don't know exactly how they operate, if I have to pay them a fee or as someone told me, the banks pay them.

3) Is there a usual or standard amount/percentage for the Option Fee, rent credits, and any other fees/charges?
