I have a VA loan option from when I was in the military I have not used and have the down payment I’d need for our next residence so I don’t necessarily need to sell in order to buy my next house.

If that is the case, then your options to sand and re-finish are limited....the real wood part is only 1/4", if that, so the sanding cannot be too aggressive.

Thank youI am game planning for all different options here and there and hopefully it’s just slightly low cash reserve temporarily that makes me uncomfortable We live in very highly rated school district and my wife would kill me if we needed to move because of my decision on this purchase….. 

I just wonder if it will be nation-wide or only in select states.

MBS has to be attractive vs other options, as those other options gain in returns, this presses mortgage rates UP to remain competitive for those investment $'s.   

@Abdullahi Mohamed @Osman KhanYes, investment residential real estate. 15% down payment. you cannot do BRRR completely since shariah law doesn’t allow one to acquire a cash loan with interest, so cash outs are never an option.

As noted above, these are usually geared away from investors if they are looking to increase affordable housing options, or focused on local investors who will then open them up for rent right away for the same reason.

We wanted to look at some sample ags to get a better jist of what kind of items are important to us.interested for links to any state maintenance agreements/outlines, we want to see a wide range since no one has all the gotcha's covered. 

Explore options like crowdfunding platforms or connecting with experienced sponsors who welcome smaller investments.2.
