I’m still saving for purchase price and reserves, but while I do that, I heard on the podcast to try to just analyze one property a day and after a month or two it’ll become much easier.

Another thought - When purchasing HVACs, roofs, tree removal, siding, etc. you can very easily pay "retail" (just look for the biggest ad campaigns online) or you can save 30-50% by being your own GC and finding or going to the crews directly.

@Mohsin Mazhar  If you decided to sell and purchase another property, a 1031 exchange would give you a larger ROI potential and save you from the initial tax hit.

Hey BP Community, as the title of the post says, I am looking to make connections with local Estate Attorneys in the area and help them offload their client's estate properties on the market.

I helping many clients use their VA loan to purchase properties in IB.

I am going to go a bit off topic here...I have been thinking about purchasing a rowing machine for a while now and this thread, and thinking about how much my physical activity has gone down in the last year (since I left the Air Force), is making me think about it even more.

I'd suggest trying a few different lenders in your market to find one better equipped to support you purchasing with a VA loan.

Maybe I’m reading this wrong but after reading several articles it’s my understanding that normally when a civilian assumes a VA mortgage the “VA entitlement” will remain with the seller meaning purchasing power in the future will be less since it’s still tied into the current loan and the 1 year occupancy is foregone since the seller has lived in it over a year. 

Clients don't like when they think they're getting charged $100/mo per unit then pay a dozen or more in junk fees every time they turn around. 

I purchased the property with an FHA loan at 5.25% rate but plan to refinance once rates drop (if they ever drop lol).
