I did find that the roof was damaged and needed replacing.

It’s a full rehab(new roof, new drive way, siding is good but a has a few cracks, needs drywall work in one of the rooms(hole in the wall and a crack in the ceiling), full interior needs updated, and some landscaping in the front and back yards.

@Joe Splitrock offering cash is obviously going to lead to a fast closing, its exactly want the sellers want and its opposite of what investors looking to do multiple deals want to do.we want send photos to create a relational aspect, so no, I don't see how thats discriminating. it's also what Brandon turner recommends. 

Searching and Hunting for a great property is a fun aspect of this job, and I wouldn't give it up for anything!

Because this is my biggest project to date, I am hoping someone with more experience can review my plan on this building and let me know what you would do differently - mostly with to rehab or not to rehab before tenants.We are replacing some needed items for sure -roof, some HVAC, windows and other mechanicals.

(Not a tax expert but there could negative aspects.)Not 1st deal, dislike flips though, usually rentals or wholesaling for me - hence torn and asking for feedback.

.* We have wholesale accounts with several large cabinet companies, and granite companies and can get huge discount on these supplies, along with flooring, roofing shingles, and carpeting and other supplies.* My personal credit score is 700 and I have personal rehab capitol, but not enough to cover the home purchase and rehab costs. 

So, in one aspect, you could use your VA loan to purchase the home with 0% down, reducing your initial costs.  

"Boots on the ground" that you can trust is one of the most important aspects of long distance rehabbing.
