thank you guys for your input  so that would lead me to another question  where can I find a FHA appraiser that I could talk to

I personally won't do it, but perhaps the next guy will

Maybe I just have not had bad tenants in that area.

Hi Guys!

Hi Guys! 

The roof, I’m not sure if it’s bad, but will payout of my own pocket for an independent inspection But the standard Minnesota c4d gives the seller soooooo..... many ways for the owner to “screw me” out of repairs and legal fees paid to him for repairs.

Its up to you guys of course but make sure the sellers financials are verified. 

Lot of it has do with intent, I think ppl use a year as a safe guideline, but if you're going to be there for at least nine months, but potentially beyond and you really don't have a definitive end date, I don't think using a VA loan would be acting in bad faith.

Thanks guys for the insight I will definitely give updates on how things turn out

You are likely to end up with a bit of turmoil with that cheap of a property (probably not in great shape and/or in a bad neighborhood) and lower-quality tenants (evictions, excess repairs, etc.).
