Vetting tenants is crucially important for being a landlord and as owner of the property, nobody will complete this process with as much integrity as you will.I suggest exhausting your #2 options before being willing to give up 10% of gross rent value.  

I've been hearing multiple things like you can take out multiple VA home loans as long it doesn't exhaust the VA down payment cap.

If you add up all the days I’ve been in physical therapy for a year of my life.

I understand opportunity cost but only to the extent that you are exhausting all your "opportunity".

I seem to have exhausted the people I can get get ahold of to ask this question to, and get a helpful answer from, so I figured I'd give it a shot on here.

Partially because it didn't feel like much of a success after all was said and done and I was exhausted.

We vacated the property on Nov 16th, had a physical walkthrough with the landlord noting only a small hole in the living room drywall and ZERO damage or concerns otherwise (we only lived in the home for 5mo). 

I dont let them apply unless they have physically seen the property, no sense in wasting time.
