My hope is that people of all levels - from newbies to veterans - will be able to help others from making a similar mistake in their due diligence process. 

We are flying to Cleveland for Veteran Day weekend to look at acquiring two more SFH's.

I would encourage everyone, from the folks thinking about getting into the business to the hardened veterans, to check out the monthly meetup at Ingersoll along with the IAREIA meetings. 

Any veteran flipper would be proud of this deal.

yes, Veterans United and PennyMac are both good lenders

What if they are a Veteran and get in for 0% or close to it?  

There are also a lot of people looking to get out of the city life including a lot of Veterans and want a larger parcel that offers privacy.

For any of the veterans in the Arizona market, given the current state of things, how would you create $500/mo in cash flow?

Are you a veteran?

I know that this leaves less room for profit and head ache than a fix and flip, but as a veteran and a military spouse in a high military population, I want to provide those families with equity since at any moment they can get orders, and I hate seeing people I know pay an arm and a leg to sell their house because they didn't have an equity in their home.
