I've also filed a complaint with the BBB and found similar stories there and in two other placesIt seems that they have served some customers well in the past, but in my case they are only collecting money, and not marketing leads.

So for example if you would pay $1,000 per month to rent a similar unit but after you collect rent and pay expenses you are only on the hook for $500 of mortgage payment you would treat that $500 difference as a return and calculate your other metrics from there.

I am getting $1350 for my 3 bedroom house, however I was getting $1550 for a similar one a block away.

If this is the case the loan amount will be similar to what you borrowed with the VA. 

I put in an offer for a similar townhouse across the street, offering 5k more than asking price and they went with someone who offered more!

Have any of you faced a similar situation?

Most brokerages don't like creative deals. 2) Yes it will help in that many laws are similar across the nation.

I would be very hesitant purchasing in a rural area especially being Out of State unless you know the market very well..Living in an expensive market I’m in a similar situation like you and invest in the 2 biggest cities in NC.

I moved down here because of the crazy amount of growth going on in this city.Both cities growth statistics are pretty similar. 

I hope I can do something similar!
