Getting started as a veteran

[Brandon Lashley]

Hello all,

Can someone give me some advice? I recently started looking for property to begin investing. I want to buy and hold, then sell it after a few years (depending on interest rates/market). My question is about financing. I know I cannot use the VA loan to invest, but I was wondering about other options I can use to finance my first investment?

Should I wait to get a down payment, finance a downpayment, or what? I've been looking around at options; I just wanted to reach out to the community for advice.
