I want to enjoy more sun, cheaper life style fresh out of college compared to Seattle, and I think for my first purchase using my VA loan I will get a better bang for my buck in Texas considering I have to live in whatever property I purchase with the VA loan.

No depositing of liquids, toxic waste, construction waste, any type of gardening waste (from outside of property, any type of appliance, or any type of furniture into trash bin.

I also did a Google Maps Street View -- there are some run down houses next to it, but also a nice-looking freshly-renovated apartment complex on the same block.I know this turn-key company is very reputable, so I trust their judgement...

Freshly rehabbed and in this hot market (assuming it is where this home is too) I would keep looking. 

Any advice to those fresh out of college (with loans of course) but wanting to get into real estate (specifically multi-family properties).

Passaic river sediment with dioxin, mercury, PCBS in the garden, it depends where subject is located???

Now a days in our market here for new construction they got away from draining to the street. ( save the Salmon) and so now we have to do on site containment.. this includes gutters to the downspouts that then tie into a line that takes the water to either an above ground rain garden. ( IE concrete box with plants that thrive in the wet. ) or like in my project in Canby OR  to the back yard were we have to dig a little mini drain field like you would  a septic system.. so water all drains from the roof to this little drain field in the back yard.. 

I added some new carpet, fresh paint, and installed a glass shower door for the walk-in shower.

Fresh paint, carpet cleaning and general cleaning encapsulates or removes odors. 

Probably not gonna work for 10k for blue toothbrush left in the guest bathroom, but lawn tractor and gardening equipment, appliances, even window coverings, excluded in sale.
