This prevents hugely inflated prices for a finished basement (we all know a finished basement doesn't add THAT much value). 

As traditional small B&B's are, my house is an owner occupied income producing property, but it doesn't fit into "residential" loan requirements.

Tenant wants to hide something and doesn't want you coming around until they are completely gone.2.

I did run some options with him, I asked him if he ever thought of renting, and he said he doesn't want to deal with tenants.

The reported eviction doesn't matter much because she's living with her grandparents who are stable.

Deal or no deal Its a property in myrtle beach arv is around 145K they want 90k but negotiable it was flooded in the storm they completely gutted it and sprayed all thats left is to rebuild 2 beds 2 baths it's an A or B neighborhood gated community the seller says they want an honest offer but doesn't want to be robbed.

Using the VA loan gets you started with very minimal out of pocket (Just because it is $0 for the down payment on a VA loan doesn't mean the property is free lol).

It doesn't need to be fancy.

If so, having someone else doing this work doesn't mean you're not a good landlord or doing it wrong, If anything you're doing it right if you never have to spend any time working on this property and it runs perfectly as a passive investment property which should be your ultimate goal. 

It doesn't always work out that way.... for example, I'm a really good landlord (as I've found out just this year) but the thought of being a landlord makes me want to run straight into a concrete wall.
