My wife and I bought our first house 4 years ago using the VA loan and I’d specifically like to learn how to finance a rental property using little or no money of my own.

I walk into the house with my binder of all my needed contracts and if we come to an agreement I fill out the contract right then and there.

I would like to converse with the owner on cost, process, hassle, lessons learned, etc but only the agent is at the open house.  

My experience with the existing property has been mixed, with challenges such as missed rent payments and evictions.

I am thinking of asking the seller to have the building vacant.  The seller provided the rent income history and all four tenants for 4 apartments are late and have been late in the past.  Is that a reasonable request...

We've also had a number of people relocating to the area reach out and say that they would prefer a furnished unit while they looked for a more permanent housing solution (often purchasing a home). 

There are a couple of FB groups with thousands of members for this market, with wholesalers posting houses all day long. 

I'm in St louis, but the house is just across the river in Illinois.I've spoken directly to a few brokers.

hey guysdo you know guys know any experienced house inspectors for due diligence in the dekalb county area?
