[If that makes sense :)]@Trevor Lohman - Going this route does have a good amount of rewards but also in my opinion has a lot more risks and expenses.

What is the best way to use the Rental Property Calculator when you are planning on putting together a seller financed deal?

What I’m hoping to do is use the rest of my remaining VA Loan entitlement (roughly 450k) to get pre approved and put an offer on a primary residence in Tampa/St.

To explain more, I am set to inherit some property that was correctly put under an LLC and was purchased through a 1031 exchange. 

I was wondering whether I can show an executed lease between me and my LLC to make 75% of the rental income stated in the lease count toward qualifying for the new primary residence mortgage which allows me to put down only 5%.

Lots of times you can meet an agent in. the market that can at least put you in a ballpark. 

. - Investment going into tier 2 or 3 markets with less insurance risks.- Service providers are offering more and more operating services. - Lenders are not balance sheet lenders.

Also, as another member pointed out, always put a maintenance spending limit per month per property in writing Anything above that should require owner approval before proceeding, unless it is an emergency type of repair such as repairing a burst pipe indoors or removing a fallen tree limb from an upstairs window. 

That is a choice you'll have to make based on risk and your wealth building portfolio.

That is over 2/3rds the average long term return on the stock market with absolutely zero risk.
