My other solution would be to furnish the home and turn it into a midterm rental, if you have some reserves.

Bryan, with older VAs, the pricipal has been reduced so there can easily be enough bandwidth, newer VAs I beleive go up to something like 200+K, doesn't mean they use all of that to buy the first home under a VA, so there can be more to tap into, especially at today's prices.The best way to disclose, IMO, is to say that you may not be eligible for another VA loan, I wouldn't tell them they can't unless I looked at their entitlements and loan balances.I haven't done VAs for so,me years now, the amounts of the entitlements change with the median price of homes, I have never seen them come down, but I guess they could...later

Impulsively, I would go to the home and confront them but don’t.

You might find a Home Decorator as well. 

I have seen some decent lots sizes as well to add in an ADU or Carriage Home/mother in law suite.

Looking for advice on best strategy/next step following sale of a home we owned in Florida as an STR.Background: Sold 3bed/3bth home, have approx $600k equity.

Many years prior to her passing she moved out of the home to live with another family and the home sat vacant for a very long time without anyone checking on it.

Currently house hacking (rent by the room) in my primary home (1st property) in Texas while working out of state.

Now, in July 2024, competition has waned, but home prices are hot, and rates even higher.
