Seems to me directing your custodian to invest in something like a piece of real estate isn't the same as telling them to buy X number shares of ABC stock.

You can get the rest of their entitlement by multiplying it by 4$100,250 * 4 = $401,000They can buy a house up to $401K and still use 100% of VA entitlementsBonus: If they want to buy a more expensive home, they have to put 25% down on the difference of the home and the entitlementExample: Seller wants to buy a $601,000 house$601,000 - $401,000 = $200,000 (difference)Down payment = $200,000 * 25% = $50K% down on home = $50K/ $600K = 8.3% down payment

I understand that a rental listing will not generate as much as a sale would, but I think a minimal standard should exist (especially since I plan to buy properties in the future).

There's lots of information on there buying property as a foreigner through a trust, but I also have an option to buy directly as a citizen.

The absolute worst tenants I've had have all been white, native-born Americans.

But i don't buy this theory. 

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Did you buy this property site unseen?

I don't think you need to be an accredited investor to buy a multifamily property even if it's over 5 units. 

You know that feeling you get when you’re buying a car and don’t really trust the seller.
