Since a VA inspector would need to verify the condition and value of a home before the money is lent, does this mean there is no way to buy a foreclosure with VA loan financing?

I just need a handful more of my repeat customers to start and keep going around them.

We usually keep it to praising how well they’ve taken care of the place and saying how we’d be honored to carry on the tradition.  

Plus, I have a hunch (but haven’t looked into it), that this will limit my scalability.So, I’m trying to see if there’s a different way to structure these loans that keeps things simple for my investors (ie. still getting a 1099), while still collateralizing the loan, and giving them all “equal” position on the debt.What I’m doing is working (I think?)

Because it first of all allows you to keep all of your equity at work including the tax you get to defer. 

I by no means claim to be an expert.

If I'm understanding correctly, we could keep our 1st duplex with the FHA loan (until rates lower then we'll refinance) and then still use an FHA loan for our 2nd duplex since we have lived there for over a year?

If often more that they are abandanoning the property to the government because there is some type of constraint, i.e. there is a street light oddly placed in the middle front part of the parcel, there is a creek or wash (which means environmental permits would be needed), there is lack of true legal access, zoning problems, etc. 

This means understanding what they hope to achieve through the transaction, whether it's growth, expansion, or a strategic partnership.
