I just really need some advice right now because im sitting on a decent amount of cash that I will continue to increase plus I have the VA loan I could tap into and use.

Anyone with a house on the market now should be open to a discount if it's been sitting.

I think I get the spirit of your question, but May 2021 rents is a fine thing to get excited about if you don't own any property now or sit on substantial reserves.

All the money you put into a good buy and good rehab may sit when rubber hits the road -- so a deal is a deal is a deal, but your contingency for the deal should be padded enough.

During that time, I have also been incrementally increasing my cash reserves and I currently have enough to cover any expenses for at least a year in the case that I can't find a tenant and the property sits vacant.

The less showings you get for your property, the less rental applications you'll collect and the longer the property will sit. 

That does not sit well with me.

This is a tricky time to purchase but there are some benefits - i.e. low interest rates, properties sitting on the market due to COVID, and anticipated high rental demand since FHA has tightened up lending requirements.We haven't seen much of a decline in rental inquiries for the apartments we are listing.

The house is rather large, comes fully furnished, sits on about 3 acres and has been a successful STR and events venue.
