I guess the hard part is finding a lender who specializes in VA Loans. 

However, there's obviously no guarantee in what they'll find... so - how do folks mitigate the risk of the 2k-5k loss when looking to purchase a new property for a plan like this?

Lately I find myself doing clerical duties making sure that I'm escrowing enough for taxes and insurance when I should be buying and selling notes and properties.

About to close a deal all cash for $1.46M and was going to get a cash out refi after to take out about $630K in cash. A friend in lending told me I'd get better pricing if I have private lender do a $630K loan, record...

Hey Eli, hope you've been able to find a reputable company, but I can PM some suggestions over as well if you still need some.

Add up these numbers to find the total amount of money required to close the sale.Private lenders can help manage cash flow during property renovations or lease-ups by providing more inventive financing options like interest-only payments or deferred payments.

As a new investor I am working to find the right balance of allocation towards Vacancy, Capex, Emergency, etc.

Designing and building single family homes with emphasis on build-to-rent juxtaposed built-for-sale are benchmarks that I am interested in making Americans' lives better through homeownership.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

If you can find a 'prefinished slab' company, you should be able to get a regular size kitchen done in granite/quartz for <$2000.IMHO, it is worth it and can justify a rent increase.

Home equity is 6-7% depending on length 5yrs vs 15yrs a 30 yr mortgage is 6%...Ideally rental stays rented out bringing in 1/2 of mortgage payment on new house based on numbers and is already cash flow positive bring in $1200/month (worth about 180k)and new property is going for 240k going rental price is about $2,000/month but I owe 18k still on private mortgage- reason I want to pay it off (4% flat 720 interest from cc for 1 year) to have it 100% paid off, then use home equity to pay off....or try to balance transfer balance after 1 yr which ever is lower but I figured that would mess with debt to income ratio and with this property being brand new, which is hard to find being located outside of closest major city...goal is to keep house rented out till it's paid off while also being cash flow positive with both properties combined and using paid off/ nearly paid off 1 to pay for 2nd rental, so I'd say lowest debt while also building wealth/equity not worried about a monthly/yearly profit per say as long as someone else is paying down the mortgage ie: my current property is bringing in $1200/month but current market value says it should bring in atleast $1500-$1600 but the tenant is phenomenal so she's paid same rent since 2017 I've put about 36k into between mortgage payments for 2 years and some up keep...she's put in the other 130k!!
