I appreciate any suggestions...Thank you all so much in advance.

Control and eventual ownership of one and three quarter million dollars worth of real estate, for just seven thousand dollars down, is worth a look in my book.Especially when the fundamentals suggest that your tenants (paying you 1% gross per month) would be paying all its ongoing expenses, mostly! 

We just got a Va mortgage for our primary home as we just moved here from south Florida.We are trying to get pre-qualified for this second loan but it seems like we are at 65% DTI ratio and the bank want a co-signer.Any ideas how to go around this or any suggestions how to make this happen?

Someone also suggested installing electronic pest repellents to help ward off the mice behind the walls or getting a professional exterminator.Looking for recommendations on a good moderately priced attorney in the Brooklyn, NY (or surrounding areas). 

@Ray HeroldI would suggest going to your local bookstore or to amazon.

My suggestion would be to look further south to San Antonio.

I wanted to see if anyone out there in the BP world had any suggestions as to the type of sealant/epoxy I could use for this

Can anyone lend some advice on this and or suggest a VA company or service, particularily one with "Real Estate Investing" experience/background?
