The property has two homes, and we will be inhabiting the homes separately. 

It was inhabited at the time by a family member of the seller and kept pretty clean.

I have yet to see anyone convert a garage into a standalone inhabitable structure, but that would honestly be a very interesting idea to play around with! 

I am 22 years old and in the process of transitioning out of the Army in the next 6 months back to civilian sector and I am interested in using my VA loan to begin my journey in investing.

The kicker is that residents on military bases often lacked basic rights renters can rely on in civilian communities, such as withholding rent from derelict landlords.These reports led to a Senatorial investigation by Elizabeth Warren and Congresswoman Deb Haaland that ultimately passed an overwhelmingly unanimous bill demanding the strict oversight of privatized military base property managers.

Purchase price: $375,000 Cash invested: $30,000 Purchased a duplex for owner inhabited STR or corporate rental What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

You should send your neighboring landlord a certified letter stating the dead tree is a risk to your property and its inhabitants and ask the owner to remove it.

My husband served 8 years in the Air Force and has worked for them, as a civilian for 14 years.

The only difference is the eligible letter will come from the VA office with your DD214, instead of your company commander.Good luck on your civilian life!

Not only is it a good idea (and legally required) to keep your property in habitable condition, but the law also says that you're not entitled to collect rent for a property unless you do.
