I'm just getting started and really just learning some of the Ins and Outs.

Rates that are too low relative to the rest of the market are a red flag.Agreed granted many of the HML have a sliding rate scale based on  ARV  and experience  and maybe a little fico in there. lowest I have personally seen was 7% and 2 points.. and of course junk fees.  

I still have enough room with my VA entitlement for a buy and hold in a couple of years, so I'd rather save it for later!

Points and loan details are TBD still as we're just getting the tentative process down on paper as we wade into the details. 

Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

There are things you need to be aware of prior to going down that path, though
