I'll toss you a vote if you get it right.The sink clogged up and they just left crap in it, probably put more in, and didnt tell you but expected it to be fixed. 

My friends that have gone the VA loan route have all complained about how much of a pain it was because of the stupid little stuff they wanted fixed, so that will definitely help you.

Giving half of everything might seem like a lot until you realize 50% of a lot is more than 0% of nearly nothing.Always hang your license somewhere people know and respect then find someone in the office that will take you under their wing for a few deals.

This way you control how much you spend to fix the problem.

Hello, I’m a Nurse in Texas. Me and my wife purchased a property from a relative that we want to rehab for our first rental. Would like to use this to get started real estate investing. We have no debt on this propert...

be ready to fix some leaks. 

The last house (3unit) I purchased I went back asking for $8K for repairs (sewer stack replacement, electrical updates, boiler fixes, etc).

The mortgage lender said they want several things fixed but the seller has said this is an as-is sale.

They might require additional premium in order to insure over these issues (which the seller should pay, imo) or they may say "No" and either you would need to agree to accept the risk or the seller would need to fix the problems... because they essentially built over someone else's property -- 3 times!

Our plan is to fix it up and build equity in that house.
