Bryan, with older VAs, the pricipal has been reduced so there can easily be enough bandwidth, newer VAs I beleive go up to something like 200+K, doesn't mean they use all of that to buy the first home under a VA, so there can be more to tap into, especially at today's prices.The best way to disclose, IMO, is to say that you may not be eligible for another VA loan, I wouldn't tell them they can't unless I looked at their entitlements and loan balances.I haven't done VAs for so,me years now, the amounts of the entitlements change with the median price of homes, I have never seen them come down, but I guess they could...later

We tried offering seller financing, money toward buying down someones rate, etc.

I buy LVP, tile, etc at home depot because you can negotiate with them on price. 

To buy a home with for 100K and 44K in rehab with 12.99% interest (which is high) and 3% origination (also on the higher side), assuming 85% LTC, your total loan will be 122,400 (78,400 for purchase and holdback of 44K).

If one has put down 20% on an investment property, how can you get the full value out of that property so you can turn around and buy another?

The strategy we will use is buy and hold rental properties out of state.

The guest became defensive and pointed out that 7 rolls of toilet paper (12 guests over 4 days) was not sufficient (lol) and they had to buy more tp, paper towels, and trash bags.

i went to big pitchfests suspecting they were pitchfests, got pitched at, didn't buy anything, and networked at those too.

I'm just curious...I'm here in CA, and with the cost of housing, I'm always wondering if my home is too large and if I should be finding other ways to invest my money, such as buying rental property (2 town homes instead of a house for example) and moving into a house later. 

what would you need to buy it at for it to make sense?
