(could be totally wrong and confusing scenarios)I'd check with some other lenders as well like @Zack Karp or @Michael Facchini - This is something they deal with on a regular basis.

For those of you who have used a VA renovation loan (or regular VA loan) for a house hack investment property - how hard was that process?  

@Bonnie Low Yes, definitely tongue-in-cheek, and more so for me to vent about the god-awful garage conversions I come across on the regular.

@Logan Knight the only property management company I can recommend works exclusively with 5+ property bedrooms that host large groups, that gross $150k+ per year.

When and IRA engages in a trade or business on a regular or repeated basis, it is taxed at trust tax rates on Unrelated Business Taxable Income (UBTI).

This means the rent should be at least 125% of all mortgage, taxes, insurance and any other regular costs (HOA - Garbage - Utilities, etc) Otherwise you do not really make a profit off of the rent.

They normally check taxes, liens, and a whole host of other issues.   

The brokerage I work for hosts a few events a month. 

@Lindsay Gittens I remotely host and co-host in Myrtle Beach, SC.
