.- thanks -  pay towards the 2 loans the same way ...look to refinance  when and if rate drop ...if interested in buying more rentals - consider saving these  funds to use for your next purchase ...there are many great amoartization calculators avaiable for free that you can use to review scenarios 

There are a lot of programs available to help with renovation costs being built into the loan on a primary residence purchase.  

However, county loan limits still apply to Veterans who have previously used, and not restored, their VA home loan entitlement to purchase, refinance, or construct a home above $144,000.Your entitlement can only be restored when the property is sold, or the loan is paid-in-full.

You just have to make sure all of your numbers are good before you purchase.

Purchase price: $194,500 Cash invested: $51,000 When we talk about long term rentals the goal is to buy something that people are going to live in 3-5 years with the ability to raise rent over time ahead of insurance, taxes and inflation.

You may wish to consider taking the property subject to and giving the end buyer a sweat equity lease option or lease purchase with the one time right to assign the option/purchase agreement once repairs are complete.If the sellers options are really limited he might just have to buy a cheaper home. 

I'm about to put an a bulk offer on this portfolio, to either wholesale or ideally to wholesale and purchase at the same time.

Due diligence ends on Tuesday, and the seller has indicated no negotiation or repairs will be made.I have a walkthrough with my contractor on Sunday, but I'm trying to determine whether what I know is enough to decide whether to purchase or withdraw from the deal.

Why do you think purchase contracts are so long and have such small print?

I'm looking at finance options to purchase an entitled lot in Truckee, CA and build a SF modular home on it as an investment.
