Humor usually cures tension and nerves

Ex. it would cost $1,500 to put nicer carpet into your home and to repaint, so the cost to cure is $1,500.I would not allow this same appraiser back into your home. 

I just finished graduate school and am looking for a rental property to invest in long-term and sell the property after it has appreciated ~20% in 10-15 years.My budget is around 250-300K and I'm looking for properties (with little to no repair work needed) in up and coming areas of the city as well as in established areas where I can reach my investment goal of a ~20% appreciation in 10-15 years OR have positive cash flow from rent.

At least here in Colorado a person needs to be evicted from a house before they can be forcibly removed, provided that they have established residency at that location. 

@Sandesh Sapre  I think the major issue with any SFR  rental or the one's that are presented turn key generally is they lack history.. its all supposition as to how well they will do.You may want to look at multi family that is established one's that have track record then you can see through tax returns and actual P and L's how they have done over a 2 or 3 year period... for SFR's its all about price point in a given market.. or the what folks like to call A B C D class properties.

Great plan here is what i would suggest yes use the VA for the acquisition, establish an Scorp (NCH INC las vegas NV ask for Hunter ) establish a relationship between your company and a lender who will do a blanket loan for multiple properties in multiple states.
