Hi Owen,I will be at the meeting tonight.

Joel Mitchell unfortunately not everyone lives in a cash flow market and the VA loan has the requirements to meet the 3 Ss in order to meet VA appraisal standards.

I would love to meet up to discuss the possibilities.

Do you think the property will meet appraisal. 

Always double check if this happens to confirm how well the other person really knows the person you're meeting with.

This is a follow-up to my last post, wherein I was contemplating walking away from my first potential deal (I did), mainly because of the inability to see any sort of detailed financial history for the 8-unit property.I tried doing some searching for my particular question in the forums, but I can't seem to figure out the right keywords.

Note I am not an attorney and this is not legal adviceExactly and meeting someone on the internet is not exactly a close associate.. and since the investor has  basically never done it..

You just have to make sure that your property is rented and meets the 1.2 debt service coverage ratio with the rental income it brings before you apply for the refi.I am assuming you are planning to buy with your own cash or some form of short term private financing.

Go to your local REIAs and meet some other investors to sell to.

Be active on BP and go to your local REI meet ups.
