This situation is especially tough for VA home buyers like myself, who may need to cover an appraisal gap of potentially $10,000 to $20,000 under the appraised value.

@Sam Booth most investors want to see a spread of at least 30%, but this is an oversimplification because it doesn't consider important factors like: how much money you're putting down, how much the repairs will cost, how much of your time and effort the repairs will require, the appreciation potential, the cashflow potential, and a myriad of other important factors.

Honestly real estate isnt cheap and had some big legal repercussions so theres going to be fear but it's about looking at your first property, the first flip, or the first time you pitched a potential investor and recognizing the courage it took to take that step.
