5 years ago I purchased my first home using the VA loan (no money down). 

I purchased my home in February of 2021 with my VA loan.

Hi, I'm a fairly new investor in Richmond, VA. 

@Amanda JarrettWithout the user (the agent) notifying you, or the MLS having a built in email to you there is no way to automate it.Perhaps you could just load up all their listings in a browser that opens with a bunch of saved tabs to see all their mls listings then have a VA go through a mark down the changes they see of pending, etc and take action from there

With a turnkey renovation, you have already paid a premium to not have these issues, but I have seen many rehabs that were done very poorly and covered major issues (like finishing a basement to hide a shifting foundation).   

Are you looking to use your VA benefits to purchase (must be owner occupied), pay cash or other type of loan.

I completely understand the value of a VA but absolutely not at that cost.

100% financing through a VA loan, and a 4.5% sellers assist.How did you add value to the deal?

We’ll get it vacant and ready for FHA/VA buyers then flip it on MLS.

Even in the case of an FHA or VA loan which have requirements that you “intend” to live there for at least a year, if you have to go somewhere temporarily for work, there’s no restrictions on that.
