If you want to use the VA loan, I would just go ahead and do it in your personal name and just make sure you have a good insurance policy (the first line of defense). 

Each software has its strengths and weakness's depending on your personal style, and your specific company needs.Hope this helps, good luck!

I would take full responsibility for the existing tenants.

@Brian Willie personally i would not do this. 

Thank you for your response.

Best way to find a lender is from someone referring from personal experience . 

I have a client who is in need of a personal loan (under 15K).

I love helping people and truly do enjoy my job, but I am already at a young age topped out for compensation and in this field with insurance reimbursement structure the way it is, I am likely to not move up much at all in the future unfortunately.I have always loved personal finance and after accruing ungodly amounts of student loans and navigating paying them off all while efficiently investing in the stock market as well as now real estate I have not only realized how strong my interests are in this area but also my personal skills align in financial planning and personal finance.

This year might not be the best year to go all in with an investment if the sole goal is cash flow or appreciation (not personal use).In a mature market such as the smokies, I think you can reasonably arrive at a fairly narrow occupancy rate. 

I explained that this type of routine maintenance issue is not damage and is not our responsibility, but I can see that I will need help ensuring that she as the landlord is instead held responsible.
