Is their car clean or dirty and full of garbage (dirty tenants)? 

I'm a full time worker and I really enjoy my job but I have fully bought into the Mr Money Moustache idea that work is better when you don't need the money.

Did you have a professional (title company or attorney) run a full title search?

I’m looking for a Bigger pocket Podcasts Episode where the investor that was on was talking about that he does not go into the properties he buys, he mentioned that he looks at the MLS pictures and if it looks like it need a little work he does $10 x sqft , small rehab $15 x sqft , & if it need a full rehab he will do $20 x sqft and subtract that after the 70% rule .

Hello JeffMy HELOC will be for full purchase of my rental property mortgage free. 

I have a full-time job and would like to invest in my first property in the next year.

Direct expenses can be deducted in full (such as advertising and tenant screening), while indirect expenses have to be split proportionally between personal and business use (such as utilities, insurance, etc.). 

I am hoping to negotiate the price down a little but to keep things conservative I estimated a down payment of 20% on the full asking price.

#3 I signed a 6 month rent guarantee with this TK/PM company and when I made mention of this they said yes you're right if no rent is paid by end of month we will definitely pay you full rent(Why wouldn't they make me whole on the 15th and try and collect from the tenant to reimburse themselves?)

VA IRRRL will have the lowest rate on a VA loan simply because they are the cheapest to originate... no appraisal, no income calc, etc, these are as close to no doc loans as you can get in 2018, and it's still a VA loan backed by the full faith and credit of the US Gov't, meaning close zero risk for the lender.
