A few additional things to consider between the two loan types: prepayment penalties, probability of closing, points/ fees.... and vesting (LLC or personal). 

From CA, Originally was thinking STR but now my mind is taking me towards a BRRRR more LTR.

@Conzy Ray, not necessary; you would have to check with the lender originating the loan.

I put 5% down because I wanted to remove the funding fee due previous use of a VA loan. 

I also see that some have additional reader fees that come with it. yikes! 

If i could chime in and help in the search:be sure to find an accountant who is willing to grow with you, and is not too high priced fee-wise.

The market already always could list at $1 co-op but very few actually did that, sellers also could always list with flat fee $500 MLS agents but most know the value of good agents and rarely did that.

Hopefully with your pictures and videos, you'll be able to fight it and not pay the fees they're trying to charge.

a good deal for a SFH flip would be the buyer being ALL IN at absolute max 80% of the ARV (including the PP, renovations, assignment fee, closing costs), but a lot of investors would say it has to be max 75%, 70%, maybe even 65%. that said, shoot for 65%, and know your renovation costs. i've used $65/sqft for a gut reno, and until proven otherwise i'm assuming it's a gut job, BUT that PPSF is not always accurate, sometimes there are unique issues with the property that would drive that number way up. it gives you a place to start, though. 

Sometimes the PM company or even your Realtor will be willing to do it for you for a fee.
