We were considering this or the Smokies.

Needs electrical, plumping, windows, etc What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

You have to explain it to the listing agent who doesn't get it, who then sends that to the seller, by telling them it's not that you have no money, but this is a right afforded to you based on your service to the country and you can also show proof of funds that you have money, but are choosing not to use it as a downpayment because you want to do reno with it.I would use your VA, that's what it's there for.

This way, you avoid triggering a "due on sale" clause.

The main reason I purchase this property is because I was planning to house-hack.

Hi,   In Muskegon more specifically, to note for seasonality of this. 

Hello Everyone,I was talking to an investor in regards to financing and his suggestion was to get a 500k loan to put towards all current debt, but wasn't sure all the factors that may be implicated with going this route.My current portfolio has 2 properties (1 LTR, 1 MTR = 370k), and current debts: HELOC at 54k and a vehicle at 40k. 

Has anyone ever found a way around this as I really need this to happen if I am going to scale.

Should I have this service done once a year or have it done every year?
