Mathis, I invest in KC and live out of state... happy to be of any help that I can as you start off.

For the AC, I went with the GE Profile ClearView window AC unit, specifically the 8,300 BTU model which runs off of a standard 110v outlet, and is available on Amazon with Prime shipping.  

I'm a Realtor in Central Oregon and a client wants me to write a "Subject To" offer.

Cash reserves totaling 6 months (principle, interest, taxes and insurance [PITI])2.

Purchase price: $215,000 Cash invested: $55,000 When we talk about long term rentals the goal is to buy something that people are going to live in 3-5 years with the ability to raise rent over time ahead of insurance, taxes and inflation.

@Michael Poloncic- if understanding your question -if the seller  want to buy a new  home and use his va loan eligibility -  he will likely need to have his  present VA loan paid off  before this can occur

This will make tax time much easier. 

We have some short term debt we need to pay off at the end of July (300k).

And if that entitlement is tied up with someone else that's sitting pretty at 2.25%, you must assume it'll never be refinanced or paid off, so that's it for your lifetime VA loan entitlement. 

I could write pages about how terrible this has been.
