In my opinion the best markets are the ones you are familiar with and can get to quickly.

I have been in my house for 1 year this month (Aug. 2016).I have tried use the calculators on here, to see if I could make this property attractive to anyone, while still at the very least breaking even.

The area maybe C or C+ but with those rents, it's sounds like you would be attracting D and F tenants.

Move it up as quickly as possible and if they move out then you're able to get it turned over and re-rented.

Just a real quick question,Do you pay any Closing Costs when you use your VA loan to purchase a property ?

Thanks for the quick responses. 

The home went off the market pretty quickly.

Hi @Lowden Charles and welcome to BPIn my opinion that call will be driven by if you need to recoup your invested capital quick in order to move into another deal.If you lease option it, you could even get a slightly higher price for the house and a nice cash flow but you're likely going to have a good chunk of money into the deal for the length of the lease.  

@Zach Quick gave you some good questions that need to be answered.
