These updates modernized the property, improved its curb appeal, and increased its market value.

This cap typically remains in effect unless there is a "change in ownership or control" or a qualifying improvement to the property, among other exceptions.

CONTEXT-(30k in credit card debt, split between 4 cards, mostly in charged off status)(one vehicle loan that was charged off, is now caught up to current, not paid off, 50k original loan amount)(some card companies are contacting me trying to make a deal, so likely only have to pay 20k of debt off.

You can likely get a loan with either 3.5%or 5% down payment.

This deal was financing using a hard money loan.

I’m buying a house and assuming a VA loan for it from a veteran.

Have done tons of research into taking loans etc, but probably settling on getting 20% DP and 6 months worth of monthly costs (maintenance/mortgage/utilities).Started looking to my state laws and saw I need 3 years experience to even get a MN broker license and was wondering how I should go about that.Does that mean I have to sell houses or is there a way to become an employee under an existing property manager?

The long-term rental price can cover loan and related cost when we purchased it 8 years ago. 

I assume you have been using your VA loan? 

Smart leverage, smart improvements.
