This is primarily due to the team I have in place and not due to such great returns.

I've you've already used $315k, you have $451,550 left.https://www.veteransunited.com/education/tools/va-loan-limit...Even though $515k>$451k, You CAN still use your VA loan on this duplex (and I highly recommend it).

So we told them we will be moving our possessions out and returning the keys by nov 1st and so we did.

I have over two years of 1099s, a very high credit score, and enough capital to put down a 20% down payment on properties around $250k-$300k.

Currently under contract for a large off-market residential property.Quick details: 4,200+ sqft 12bed / 5bath (2 kitchens) (No a flood zone)(Light - Medium rehab / rent-by-the-room play)My partner has been a PM in this community for 20+ years and is highly confident in this deal (as am I).The current issue is, we aren't confident the property can close with a bank due to a few seller complications.( ^Very long story, but if you want to hear it I will tell you haha)We're looking to over-raise about $335k ($255k purchase and $80k for the rehab).But we (and our contractors) know the rehab portion will come in a bit lower.Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I'm not sure if I am going to start local (since the market is so high here) or if I am going to go OOS.

I returned the $2,000 to my friend with an additional $200.

Others may disagree, but I would highly recommend paying off all of our debt and increasing your savings rate before investing. 

There are a few new construction duplex areas if you are looking for something stable but low returns. 

You can forget any large bank like Wells boA or large regional s I highly doubt with your scenario they will provide any credit to you.then you have the Brokers who are responding.. they set you up with a direct HML that does vertical Rates 10 to 15%  and points 3 to 6.. of which the brokers take 2 to 4 points for setting these up for you.
