Does anybody have any spreadsheets or tools that they'd be willing to share with me around some solid number predictions based on interest rates, occ %, etc. 

I used a VA loan to fund this deal.

At the time, our funding was limited so we had intended to use an FHA loan in order to acquire the property which would have allowed us to have a 3.5% down payment.

My 2 cents is that for non-sleeping areas, hot tubs, pool tables and movie rooms are top amenities that guest have personally told me they like the best.I think an outdoor rated pool table (or maybe ping pong table), TV and comfortable seating would likely be the best bang for your buck.

Background: I am an undergraduate student starting a real estate fund with $100,000 pledged from the Administration.As mentioned above I am starting a real estate investing club on my college campus with a good chunk of change from Administration.

My intention is to use the insurance claim funds to pay off the mortgage on the rental property.

Normally they're asking where those funds came from. 

I'd say house hack, be in one unit, rent the others for the best rates.

Say I met with him and i referred you.Also, he does "double closing" which means he will provide you the funds to do it but obviously it will cost you a %.

I'd plan to pay off both loans within 5-7 years with cash flow from the rental and other income and assets.I'm an accredited investor and will still have more than a year of expenses covered in liquid assets and additional funds to buy another 1-2 properties in the next 2 years, which is my goal.I don't know if I've provided enough or the right information to get some opinions if what I'm planning to do with my current house and new home purchase makes sense.
