I know it looks like just a few things to you, but everyone knows that the odds of you finishing once they give you money goes down.  

Sometimes I can look at the name on the appraisal and know it's one of our dudes that gets things in same-day, but I wouldn't bet on that for VA.Closing Disclosure needs to be issued / re-issued.

At the vary lest you should pan on having some cash reserves if something major comes up.While at that price you may be in neighborhoods that have the potential to appreciate, I bet your actual cash flow is less that the $450 a month you project.

NHS requires that I go with contractors that can start the job with No money down, sounded odd but they required it.

I used to work for a large wholesale company and always thought it was odd, investors would buy houses from these agents that had never owned a home, let alone an investment property. 

You bet.

We do not plan on living here for 30 years and I know not to bet on appreciation so I will do some value add to the house over time and expand it to a 4 bed 2.5 bath with less than a 40k investment, the layout will support it.

Woodcroft is always a safe bet but many of the houses are a dark/rustic style that is hard to update. 

Is the best bet to turn my back to all of the properties listed, and ignore them?
