So I sat down, wrote an algorithm and software with an engineer and now the tool runs so smoothly we have a VA overseas do the reports on every deal in-house.This is helpful for our acquisitions team because the homeowners are always appreciative that we did our "homework" before we called them.Now we don't chance down Realtors and call our sellers back 3 days later.

Type: Quad (2bd/2ba - 940sq.ft/unit)Rent: 525-600 based on Craigslist and RentometerRehab: ~2.5k/doorFinancing: Debating between FHA 3.5%/FHA 203k/VA loan I don't have much money down but I have a hard money investor for the down payment if needed.Here is a picture detailing my simple analysis...if there is anything else I should look at or I am missing please let me know.

While there are firms like Visiting Angels, a tenant of ours suggested advertising on, or checking Craigslist for a caregiver, as the hourly rate would be less.So while there is some peace of mind with a service like VA, the cost savings of an individual has some appeal.I was thinking of doing a check similar to screening a tenant...crimes, judgements, credit check, evictions, etc...Would you consider a private person or be more inclined to go with a firm, and if you did go with an individual, what kind of background check would you do?

I currently own three properties (VA, NM, and MS) that are all annual rentals (I'm in the military and purchase wherever I go).I'm trying to figure out if it would be better to hold as a seasonal rental or annual rental.

Misty, y'all BPers, is awesome, talked with her on the phone, she's a pro,@Michael Carbonare and @John Jackson know her well.Moderators should look for her posts as well thought out, and people that are interested in Seller Financing in NC and VA should follow her.Or is it just VA?

VA loan with 0% down.

I've been involved in a syndication that built new commercial condos in Phoenix, I own a SFR rental in Phoenix, did a transaction in Las Vegeas, and own my own place here in San Jose.I had a RE Lic for a while years ago and did a couple of transactions, including a VA Foreclosure sale.

VA loans are for owner occupants only.

It's now 430am in Virginia and I am on cruise control on BP.

When I got in the business of doing loan origination (which I nolonger do) I started with FHA and VA And HUD foreclosures.
