Let me know if I am wrong.In the off-chance that the above is possible, I saw a post regarding VA loan entitlement, and I think I understand: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/1150518-va-l...Dad's house purchased @ $815k x 25% = $203kCounty limit (my area): $1,149k x 25% = $287k$287k - $203k = $84k$84k x 4 = $336k is available for 100% VA entitlement.The house I am looking at is around $690k.$690k - $336k = $354kDown payment = $354k x 25% = $88.5kThe house looks like it was bought at $450k, so I am assuming that I will need to come up with around:$690k - $450k = $240k cash in addition to the down payment, Bringing the total to: $328.5k for cash to seller and as 25% down-payment based on the above.I hope I got all of the calculations correct, and honestly, the more I dive into it, the more I don't understand.

I am not convinced that granite countertops will allow you to increase rent enough or reduce vacancy enough to cover their cost.In a typical smaller house you might spend $6000-8000 on granite countertops, if it even allowed me to increase rent by $100/month it would take 5 years to recover the cost.Our tenants seem to be happy with laminate countertops that cost me less than $1000 to self-install ( I have done this in multiple houses).Can you help me understand the math of ROI on this?
