after a 2-3 week rehab, i was on the market for 2 days and had multiple offers!

Many of those deal aren't deals, they are divorce settlements, transfers to family or trusts may be investors putting stuff in an llc.Sounds too like your Realtor just put you on the public side of the mls, solds are there but limited to mls members, a Realtor giving out access to the public would be in for it, doubt you'll have that much of a favor unless you marry them.Try courthouse records, multiple mortgagors are buyers with financing, grantees with no deed of trust are cash buyers.

If it is a deal that I plan on pursuing, I will bring in multiple general contractors to give me quotes on the work.

Even major fixers with serious issues are getting multiple offers.

There were multiple GFCI outlets that didn't work.

If multiple offers on the table, clean and simple, even at potentially lower price, will often win the bid.

So I *can* have multiple VA loans out, as long as they dont exceed what.. maximum VA allowance, or what I *personally* qualify for?

It was lower than the asking and the sellers initially were disappointed but when they saw their friends sitting for months and eventually a year they were real happy they took my advice.The fact is it costs money to sit on a property and it cost you buyers if you price it wrong...If you price it to low you will get multiple offers so in my opinion set the tone and price it aggressive and move on to the next deal.

Competition is very tight with multiple offers going into buy transactions from what I've seen.

Multiple refinances can affect your credit and it can take years before the savings on the refinance payoff the closing costs.Most likely the loan on the $75k purchase is at very low rate and it would be wise to keep it there.
