Separately, the federal lien is 7 figures. 

He said he figured all the figures ahead of time when he talks to the seller.

So figure out which path you want to go down, and feel free to ask any questions!

Hi @Randy Dickerhoff,There are a couple of hurdles you'll have to figure out through your municipality first.

I figured the appraisal to be around $600 and why are attorney fees so much?

This may help or not but figured I'd share as I just closed on a duplex in a B- neighborhood in Kansas City with a VA loan.- Purchase price - $156,000- Various funding fees - ~$8,000- Interest - 4.25%- Monthly payment ($0 down) - $1039.01- Cash to close (including prorated May rent due from tenant on other side) - $2,125- Rent from tenant on other side - $900/month (they've been good tenants for 3 years so I'm not raising rent.

I figured as much but wasn't quite sure. 

We are in this for the long run, and figure that when we have financing figured out, sky is the limit.I am sure there is a way around these issues, can anyone help?

Also, find another flipper in the area and figure out how you could add value to their opperation (without just asking, "How can I help you?"

I would spend some time figuring out what your goals are, what exactly you're trying to achieve and what tools would help you.
