Are you planning to invest locally in Louisiana, or are you looking at other markets too?

Lastly, it could be that the bank is going to portfolio your loan at below-market pricing because they want the entire banking relationship (deposits, transaction processing, consumer lending, etc) or simply want the risk (yield).Lots of local and regional banks have been retaining loans at really aggressive pricing recently as the current environment makes this favorable for them.

I have several deals I'm putting together with houses under contract that are below market and will cash flow when closed on.Doing Due Diligence and I wanted to see what experience you guys had with this lender.

Work with a REALTOR with a solid marketing plan and a network of buyers. :)If you are trying to market specifically to investors, join local investor groups (in person or on facebook).

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

I'd suggest trying a few different lenders in your market to find one better equipped to support you purchasing with a VA loan.

What has worked well for me is looking at properties that have been sitting on the market.

For additional context, we have attempted to mediate with the tenants regarding the sound issue.

If you're considering other markets outside Cleveland - make sure to check out Columbus OH.

I've never marketed it to groups larger than 8, so I don't get as much rent as I could.
