I'm a property manager for a large property management firm and I'm looking to start investing personally in real estate (buy and hold). In my industry it has always been encouraged to gain addition accreditation ...

Back to RE, if that property needs repairs as you mentioned, you're not likely to get an FHA or VA, unless is an FHA 203b who purchase and repairs which are pretty tough to get (most lenders don't do them).The value of the addition depends on the addition.
