Hopefully one day (sooner than later) I can take that next step knowing what not to do again.

I did not try to take cash out until a about a year later. 

And because, on the purchase side, there's an inherent risk that you could preapprove someone using asset depletion when their Tesla stock is at $700, then 2 months later they go into contract and it's at $550, and boom you don't qualify, and this will be viewed as the fault of the lender or loan originator (hint hint: If I knew what Tesla stock was going to do 2 months from now, I wouldn't need to do mortgages!). 

I used an agent on our first deal, 8 years later I am sharing the knowledge with others.  

If you were to look at our income a year later and recalculate a yield on cost it would offer a really nice spread over our mortgage interest rate.Fast forward to now--we are actually renting units for around $1,600 (that's not a typo)--which is a 70% increase and we've only owned the property for 12 months. 

I'm trying to evaluate a multifamily opportunity where an assumption is possible for acquisition with later refi and later resale.

It passed no problem and the appraisal was done twice as fast as a normal appraisal in our market.Write a letter to the sellers with your offers too and sooner or later you will find someone who wants to sell to a veteran even if it means $5-10k less than another offer.Best of luck and thank you for your service!

He was not worried that one of these contract workers would steal something from the tenant; he just wanted it covered that a tenant did not later claim that either something was missing or an inappropriate "action" had taken place.I learned from this and if a repair is needed inside an occupied rental property I always work it out to meet the repair person at the property.

Yes, most of my books come from the recommendations form guests on the BP podcasts and I've never been let down yet.Anyway, there's a passage, "Whenever a group reached a decision while sober, they later reconsidered it while intoxicated".What does everyone think about that?

They applied for three months of future rent and were approved, then they received a notice two weeks later that they could apply again.
