And the total of the 2 loans is less than the VA Max (around 430K), he can get another VA loan for the new house.

.- Peace of Mind: Knowing that your property is occupied by trustworthy tenants who have undergone rigorous screening provides peace of mind.

I was wondering if any one has experience with obtaining a VA construction loan.

Additionally, I have a "Notice to Vacate" section in my non-standard rental provisions indicating that tenant and landlord must provide a 2 full calendar month notice to vacate. 

Lender is now saying they will loan on 80% of the purchase price and not the appraised value.

I'm looking into possibly using the VA home loan.

County records and software listings typically provide the total square footage based on documented measurements, which in this case is 1,795 sq ft.The discrepancy arises because the seller claims the downstairs, used as a business space, is also 1,700 sq ft, making the entire property 3,500 sq ft.

A DSCR loan?

I will have to provide and buy all the finishing (cabinets, countertops, tile, flooring, etc), but they demo and install everything.For the garage conversion, including the walk-in pantry and 2 bedrooms, the mini-split system, taking out the garage door and framing it and adding siding to look like the rest of the house, and add 1 window in each bedroom, the quote was $40k.I would love to get your opinions.  

-----I hope this blog post sparks some great discussions and provides me, and hopefully others in similar situations, with the clarity we need to make the best investment decisions.
