I was a government loan processor for many years and I touched VA loans extensively.  

I used this site extensively when I first started to learn about real estate investing (REI) and was shocked at the returns compared to the buy and hold strategy with equities.

If the damage is extensive, consider a restoration service.  

My opinion and that of most dealing with small businesses is that if you intend to get a sizable portion of your business from people typing the address in from some offline advertising source you need to go (at least in the US) with .com if at all possible and .net as a fairly far down second choice for an extension. 

As a rehab, the most I could offer the sellers was $150,000, due to old roof and extensive foundation issues, among other things.  

I am an Architect in California and have seen both used extensively.

If not, start with seeking an extension of the closing date. 

I only plan to be managing 4 properties myself, so it doesn't have to be anything extensive.

In our case, our program has been developed from our extensive experience in our market.  

It appears that I will now be asked to sign a 2nd extension for a Homepath property which I made an accepted offer on.
