First Rental Property using a VA Loan

[Jacob Ingledue]

So I have been listening to Bigger Pockets for well over a year now and I have even taken a real estate college class, watched tons of videos on Youtube, and even a few webinars. I am finally wanting to take the leap and get into my first property. I was just approved for a VA loan but for only 70k, which is enough for at least the market I am looking into investing (Springfield, Mo and surrounding areas). I ultimately want to do buy and hold. Any tips, suggestions, or how I should take the next step now that I have been approved for a loan?
