I have a friend who is an agent that is looking to assume my VA loan and buy the house off market, so that I can avoid paying fees and commissions.

I want to offer her $350,000 for the condo (its a fair price for it), 5% down payment ($17,500) and pay her monthly $2,000 for 3 years, after which I would refinance and pay her out.

Dear Christopher,I don't think you will have a problem...because your target population should be cash-pay clients, not Medicaid/Medicare recipients.

The protections are there because if the police can simply put out a squatter it would be simple for landlords to never give their tenants anything in writing and have the police remove anyone they didn't like or who didn't pay as a "squatter."

Not dealing with bad tenants (letting them pay late, do damage, etc.)Understand that vacancy is better than having a bad tenant.

All help is appreciatedThank you  check permit pulls on your city and how much the build cost is per square foot. email your plans out to the builders, to site walk.

If you want to find people who will try to help you lose your money, telling them how much money you have and where you will be is a good way to start.You are limiting yourself way too much by focusing on LA, but with $2 million to burn you could likely find some good cash flow if you are paying cash, but you don't sound like the management type just from this.

Better to pay your mortgage instead of someone else's.
