Hello Experts - I am ready to purchase my first single-family home this year.

Purchase price: $249,500 Our first home turned first rental property!

@Bruce Ng- thanks  1) are you planning to pay the seller the difference between the purchase price and the FHA loan amt ? 

Purchased for 725K.

Trying to avoid having too many transitions in carpet to hardwood/vinyl flooring and plan on doing LVP throughout the entire unit, bedrooms and bathroom included.

Should I continue to go with them, or should I try and keep communicate with him to include those expenses in the analyst? 

We purchased our first rental in Aug 2023.

Veterans can finance a loan 100% including closing costs without PMI.

I'm not sure the deal pencils at this purchase price (even with the vacancy, repairs, capex, and management fee being zero).

From what I have read, the main benefit is early access to MLS for purchasing homes and saving on commission costs while selling homes.This leads to two questions: - Is simply having early access to new listings worth $600, or is it only worthwhile if I plan on flipping and selling a property on my own?
