But----- When they move moved from A to For C, not so bad. 

Does this make the deal bad and I should not continue with it?

If you buy a property based on rents you *could* get by year 2 or 3 that not a smart choice IMO.

A bad property manager can tank even the nicest of properties.

Maybe I just have not had bad tenants in that area.

The financial losses from bad residents and turnover costs even when they are perfect will F your model beyond repair. 

The roof, I’m not sure if it’s bad, but will payout of my own pocket for an independent inspection But the standard Minnesota c4d gives the seller soooooo..... many ways for the owner to “screw me” out of repairs and legal fees paid to him for repairs.

Lot of it has do with intent, I think ppl use a year as a safe guideline, but if you're going to be there for at least nine months, but potentially beyond and you really don't have a definitive end date, I don't think using a VA loan would be acting in bad faith.

You are likely to end up with a bit of turmoil with that cheap of a property (probably not in great shape and/or in a bad neighborhood) and lower-quality tenants (evictions, excess repairs, etc.).

Is it a bad idea to back out of my current deal at this stage?
