I know that CapEx is a floating contextual target that no simple formula can possibly accommodate.

@Mark Small, you’re on target that standard VA home loans are intended to put military members and veterans into move-in ready homes that don’t require significant repairs.There is a separate loan product called the VA Renovation loan, which essentially packages a home purchase loan and a home improvement loan into a single product.  

Identify the target market2.

We are going to get you huge amounts of built in equity on the buy side if we target these properties.And if you are a seller…well the question is, why are you not working with the experts in this field?

Target paying them down to 70% of the limit first, then 30% of the limit second.  

I think if your tax return is simple(W-2 and a couple of interest/brokerage accounts), then software like turbo tax, H&R block will likely do just fine.However, when you get into investments(Real Estate, Syndications, etc), you may be better off hiring a professional.I think it is a good idea to match your tax profile with that of the professional.If you are a real estate professional, work with a CPA who understands real estate taxation.I also think people need to find the right fit with the CPA.I often find small real estate investors try to work with a large firm where their target market might be large institutional investors.

I would love to move out to start building wealth and gaining experience in the space, but I don't know the demand/opportunity for multi-family house hacking in my local area.How would I analyze my local real estate market to determine if my target strategy will work for me?

We invest $$$ in marketing and use a lot of data and targeting to sell the property much quicker.

Who is your target demographic?

The mid-term rental would target traveling nurses, doctors, and people on business trips.
