I am quite satisfied and even more convinced that if you want to build a sizable portfolio of rentals (like I want to) - Turn Key is not the way to go.  

I backed out of a turnkey deal once for the same reason - after they reviewed the inspection report they asked for a structural engineer to assess foundation issue and was not satisfied with the fix the turnkey provider proposed to make.    

Also, maybe ask what returns he is looking for and maybe just purchase a MF and see if that resulting cash flow would satisfy his needs then make that the target and walk down that path.

Start there and make a list of cities you want to live in (at least long enough to satisfy the FHA requirements), then research the STR rules & regs for each, then the overall market, then pin down the best neighborhood.  

Does this satisfy the requirement to allow me to include future rental income towards qualifying?

But, I do have about 10-15k in available credit and could save cash fairly quickly if I needed to.Currently, I've been looking for deals where I could rent out units and leave one occupied by me as my official primary residence to satisfy the VA loan and refinance after a year to rent them all out.

Since we aren't satisfied with this net income while not paying down the loan that quickly, we plan to raise rent three times over a 1.5 year period to get rents up to $575-600 (market value).

They remodeled a bathroom and installed recessed lighting in my kitchen, and I was satisfied with the work.

Typically, how do investor who acquire multiple properties within a short period of time satisfy this debt to income requirement of conventional loans?

What is my recourse if I am not satisfied with my investment or the service I receive?
