OR make the downpayment from out of pocket and refi later when interest rates go down ?

It seems like they are ok, but it will come up.Right now, you are hoping someone else doesn't find out and you would need to disclose what you know when you sell.

Looking at some properties around there and it seems to be the norm to have a cesspool in a few towns (WW, Coventry, NK/SK)Any immediate watchouts or gotchyas / red flags?

I'm planning to refinance my Va Loan to a Convential Loan to free up my Va Loan again to buy a duplex for house hacking.

If the remodel only adds what you spend you’ll have to come out of pocket another 20% of the HML plus closing costs to refinance.

Hi Dean, welcome to the community!

it's a hands-on strategy.there are lots of posts on BP about the challenges of BRRRR. 

They often allude to me speaking with others as if it is expected. #2: If a broker brings me a deal off-market, am I going to link up with a different broker to ask as my buyers agent?

All we do is collect the rent and come by to do the pool and small repairs.

The property has been in the same family for 30+ years and has been well maintained.
