Can I use some of the tenant's damage deposit to pay what my insurance does not pay? 

I'm an electrical contractor and do alot myself and pay other contractors for their work.

It's a side hustle started aside of my employee job and I feel that this is my best plan to pay my 4 kids college starting in 2027 and secure my dream retirement in about 10 years.

Put simply, it’s how much the VA will pay your lender if you default on the loan. 

They cost about $50 and have the applicant pay for it. 

Hey @Hector Lewis,I have a DSCR but it also starts at a $75k minimum loan amount. typically I advise folks that are coming a little less to do a fix & flip, then DSCR cash out at $75k.

Would love to connect -  but don't hesistate to ask questions, there are some very sharp folks here locally.

People need to eat and pay rent.

I almost made the mistake of paying a Philly guru who was going to teach me the ins and outs of buying section 8 homes and after reaching out to others on BP who invest in better market real estate, realized its incredibly risky.

Do part-timers pay a flat monthly fee or something?
