It wouldn’t take much time with “steady” home prices for the graph to self correct. 4) I assume at least some of this is choice.

I will take that over 200.00 a month positive cash flow :)  All the while running my Capital Partner business and funding over 120 deals a year for my hand picked clients. lThat's a nice combination.

Getting greedy tends to cause investors to be sloppy and I 100% agree with @Ken M. no good deed goes unpunished in all areas of life. 

Not all lenders are experienced with investors using VA loans, so it is worth reaching out to local investor-friendly mortgage brokers or getting referrals from other veterans who have bought in the area.

So a loss of about 55k We did a lease to own option so I could immediately take over expenses but keep their primary resident loan and interest rate.We agreed to a deal which would cover all their expenses at closing, their remaining loan balance, and $45,000.

Than be smart, site back and listen, take it all in, be a good student. 

I can send you a free guest pass to our general meeting next week and you can network with a couple hundred local investors and meet all kinds of vendors with hard money, private money, trades, title and wholesalers.

I've never been to a pay laundry that didn't take twice as much drying as washing but not 10 times.   

I’ll take the median area income and multiply it by .3.  

Totally ok if you don't plan to take any capital out as interest rates are likely higher than your original loan, and it sounds like the deal will cash flow, but just wanted to point that out so you are speaking the same language.
