A 4-plex in the part of town I was renting in (5 minutes from work and my daughters daycare), $100 cash flow per door, 1.5-2.0% rule, at least 15% equity at the time of purchase.

I explained my other refi inquiries for all those years and asked her how could she do it....she said, they were all wrong because I had a VA loan on it, the non-owner occupy rule did not apply. 

If that agent does not like the rules at that brokerage then they can move to another brokerage.

I plan to use the 70% ARV rule and am looking for any advice people can give me.

I know there are a lot of rules a SDIRA needs to follow to fully take advantage of the tax benefits and make sure you are in compliance.

I don’t know that are sny restrictions on going into contract before that.

The IRC has no restrictions in a sense but there are other code bodies that do.
