The first time I tried contacting them I was on speaker phone with my neighbor in the room and he verified his identity to them and asked them to speak with me.

Initially when I began educating myself, I wanted to begin with a duplex (easier to begin with for self property managing) but now I want to make the first deal a great one so I can get out of the rat race as fast as I can. 

Hey BP Fam, I'm looking into Akron, OH for a rental property and wanted to verify if anyone has used IIP Property Management for their units?

In 20 months since the initial purchase it had a broken water heater a major leak in the front yard watering system, and found that the prior owner severely misinstalled the laminate flooring.

I'd recommend initially proposing the 70% etc. 

Verify that the rehab list meets your target budget.5.

Also it seems like financing is their real business as when I told them I was planning to initially do an all cash buy & rehab  they said those using financing get priority.And like you mentioned they really push that 10k figure that you can get in and get started with only 10k cash but then you're taking on a lot of high interest financing based on their figures working out and selling quickly.

OR - if your VA is tied up on the initial property, you will use the 40K as a down payment on a conventional loan.  

Do they verify employment and income as well?
