I'm also part time military (Air National Guard) and will see this weekend if I'm eligible for a VA home loan so no down payment is required on my first home purchase.

This investor is on the higher end as he is looking at Bel-Air only.

Since then we purchased 2 more houses and an antique shop (true entrepreneurial spirits :) with my brother and another rental with a back house on our own (back has long term tenant and front was air bnb'd over the holidays).This year, my goal is to sell our primary house and move into our house with a back house so I can house hack once again and start growing exponentially on our rentals.

Now, I can't tell if your rentals are short term (like Air BNB) or long term (like 12 month leases) so maybe some details on that will help us give a better recommendation but usually investors are working with smaller banks. 

@Caitlin BigelowThe $170k covers the cost of the entire 800 sqft addition (all new addition) project, including basic furnishing including air-conditioning and oven. $500/sqft is a rip-off.

Keep in mind, you are in a dual agency situation if the broker represents both sides. 

You can get a firm price for the panels and dual meters ( probably time to upgrade to 200 amp also ) But chasing down the circuits could get expensive , and its hard to get an accurate estimate 

Sometimes it works or they assign you a buyers agent from their team and do a dual agency transaction.
