@Lon Williford A low VA appraisal should cause the appraiser to trigger the Tidewater clause, allowing all concerned 48 hours to show the appraiser why they should raise the appraised amount.I did this several weeks ago with an unusual property.  

I spoke with a lender the other day who said he will look at everything I provide before I find a property, but only once I find something and am ready to pull the trigger will he pull my credit report. 

Consult with your attorney but I would expect your lease provides that tenant is in default for late payment, triggering numerous default options (acceleration of outstanding rent owed, right to evict, etc.) for you as LL.

I'm more thinking about it as exit triggers instead of exit strategies.

A few things I'll mention since one of our investors just bought a 22-unit this year. 1) Don't buy a complex where you think it's apartments but find out it's actually individually-parceled condos and an HOA. 2) Get pre-approved for commercial financing so you can pull the trigger when you find a complex you want to make an offer on. 3) Do full-scale research on the city and area you want to buy in first; i.e. develop a business plan for your MFH investment strategy just like you would any business you start.

I’ve spent many hours researching turn key real estate and I am about ready to finally pull the trigger.

Mold is a trigger word for a lot of people, whereas mildew is just something that needs to be cleaned.

I could re-invest that money back into the market after I got cashed out but the fees to sell, the taxes (largely the main issue), and fees to repurchase might've been considerable.

I hear that mentors can really take you to the next level and really cut the growing pains down considerably. 

I will definitely take that good advice under consideration.
