It would be unwise for us to try to take on this project without a veterans help :)Construction Loan is not finalized yet as we are doing to separate loans, which is what our mortgage broker recommended. 

Maybe I'm also partial because he is a combat veteran like myself. :-)

All in all, you did make great points but we as wholesalers can't cater to "veteran" buyers needs and sometimes we mail out to as many people as possible who will pay 90% in this market and the veteran's are just going to have to wait until another crash.

So my question to all the experienced real estate veterans is this..What all does one need to purchase a property?

Whether you are a wholesaler, appraiser, flipper (rehabber), buy-and-hold, experienced landlord, newbie, veteran, lender, surveyor, general contractor, real estate agent or broker, whatever; whatever you are is good enough.

My first advice would be to get a veteran investor to walk through it with you (or a GC).

Also look at Faira.com and do everything that a broker would do like professional photographs, great description, open houses, printed materials, signage, etc, and I think you have a huge leg up and getting your home sold.

My father is a Vietnam Veteran and I am very proud of that, my mother is from Eltville am Rhein Germany, a place anyone MUST visit when traveling to the Rheingau Taunus Kreis in Germany.  

I am a separating veteran, and I plan to move to the DFW area in the next six months or so, and want to begin my REI career when I get there.  

I'm not some kind of war-weathered veteran expert, I have a vacancy now that's really annoying me and I'm trying to figure out how to get a good tenant in there, but I'm very positive about the area and its potential.
