My plan is to purchase my 1st investment property in April 2021, using an FHA because I'm already deep into my VA loan with a primary residence in California. 

It seems to me that you can argue that the first offer came from "John Doe" and the second came from "John Doe, LLC", which is an entirely different entity.It also seems to me that you have clean hands in this transaction as long as you didn't know that it was the same person. 

Anyway, we explained that this cabin that their relatives looked at was not our cabin and our cabin is in excellent condition and very clean and they can verify this with our reviews.  

The roof has been replaced and the demo work has been complete/cleaned.

I had to save the house because my job monitors my credit periodically and I need to have a clean record.

Choosing a non-REBNY member brokerage that's based deep inside an outer borough is not ideal for a co-op sale in Midtown (I won't even ask how much experience they have with co-op sales). 

The property was clean and well maintained but could use a few updates. 

It is adorned with nice cabinets that just need a good old fashion cleaning.

Some of these tenants are probably not going to be gone until the late summer at which time they won't pay the rest of the time they are there and will leave the place trashed at eviction meaning a cleanout, full house repaint, and cleaning along with more typical turnover costs like a lead recert.
