First Property Purchased! Now What?

Dwight Porter

Greetings! 

Big thanks to Bigger Pockets, @Brandon Turner and all the community contributors! I was able to purchase my first Duplex for $280,000 with a total of $3,000 of my own money. I used a VA loan. The property was new construction with a tenant who paid 10 months of rent upfront. So I was able to receive a nice check at closing.

My question is, what are some ways to purchase the next property after using a VA loan or FHA loan. I plan to live in one unit for a year and then purchase another property.
