I had the call and the person seemed very sus, he sounded scripted, salesy and the program curriculum compared to the price was a no-go for me.

AND what you can re rent the units at after a no fault lease end)I have come to find that landlords that are renting far under fair market rents do not want to give notice to vacate.

This is a no-no. 

If seller financing is a no go for you be clear upfront. 

We have an option for a no seasoning cash out

Its a no brainer... go with the annual renter.

Best thing we've seen is depending on if/when you see a transfer in your future be sure that it's a place with high rentability and will cashflow if/when you leave because once you're transferred and move you won't be able to refinance your VA loan unless you refinance it as a conventional loan which won't make a ton of sense.One benefit you have to is an IRRRL (interest rate reduction refinance loan), which really simply is just a no documentation refinance so you don't need to resubmit your LES, W-2s, bank statements, etc. 

Main one being that customers from NC and SC are a no-show this year, due to several single lane situations on Interstate 40, causing delays of up to 2.5 hours each direction. 

HM is a no go for that kind of situation.

.- Long Island (Fire Island, Hamptons, Northfork) - New Jersey (Jersey Shore)- PA (Poconos)- Upstate NY (Catskills, Fingerlakes, etc)- Any other areas where it is still reasonable to have material participation (unsure of the real test here / if other geos are a no-go for tax reasons) Clearly still a fair bit of research needs to be done on my end but would love to speak to some professionals to hone in on where I should be researching and learning more…Thanks in advance for all the advice!
