Hello BP,What percentage of equity is ok to ask for when presenting a deal to an investor?

If you don’t pcs you must show how you out-grew your house. the easy way is getting married or having a child but you may have to make a case if you stay single and still want to move out.Now if you refinance out of your va as you suggested you will not have to worry about these rules however it maybe more painful than you think to refinance out of a va as the percentage may rise significantly for a conventional on top of the National average probably going up by the time you refi.disclaimer- my phone is struggling on grammar corrections and capitalization so forgive the unprofessional view of this post.

We actually just got pre-approved yesterday for that percentage.

So if those percentages you refer to include everything, you're doing okay.

We have already secured a $130K HELOC on the home which we are currently using a small percentage of to fund our current rehab.   

Also what percentage of tenants would you say renew their lease?

What income levels of families are coming in and what percentage of them are buying/renting whatever type of housing? 

Do you realize what an incredibly small percentage of the population has contracted this?

So someone who buys a property in 2009 for $100k may only have an assessed value of $110k even if it is worth $200k, but if you buy today at $200k you would be assessed at the full $200k so you need to calculate the property tax percentage of assessed value not just take the current number when calculating. 

As the first viewing, I will not have my contractor with me, I would write in the contract that if he determines rehab to be over a certain percentage that the seller quoted me, I can back out or resubmit a new offer.
