The approval/closing process is a bit longer with a VA loan and you can't wave inspections and appraisals.

Like, the whole process and best methods, tips, etc etcThanks in advance!

I work for LendingHome, which means I cannot get a loan from LH, and am in the process of finding another lender.

In fact, if insurance carriers found out that you are renting, you may run the risk of getting dropped from your policy or having a claim denied - see the AirBNB forum below:https://community.withairbnb.com/t5/forums/v3_1/fo...I am independent insurance agent serving Alabama and I'd be happy to help you navigate this process.

in addition I'm in the process of financing a 4 family (on the personal banking side) better terms and conditions.

Equity Trust does a really good job and has very helpful customer service to walk you through the process.

Anything other suggestions or advice.I'm not real sure what I should do about the tenants during this process, hopefully they have renters insurance.None of the properties are in flood zones, does anyone know if you can get some sort of fema assistance even if you don't have flood insurance?
