REI with VA Small Business in Commercial Property

[Michael Glatter]

Good morning everyone!

When I was getting out of the military, I had to take a week long course that showed what benefits were out there for Veterans. One of those benefits was owning a Small Business, and the VA being able to help Veterans obtain that business.

I was recently listening to a BiggerPockets Podcast (can't recall the episode) but there was mention of using a VA Small Business Loan for REI. Since the VA Home Loan does not allow for Commercial Real Estate investing (5+ Units). This led me to a couple of questions.

1). Does anyone own a VA Small Business that operates on REI and what benefits does it provide?

2). Does the VA provide loans to Small Businesses and can it be used to purchase Commercial Real Estate Property that is more that 5+ Units?

Look forward to hearing back from this awesome community!

Thank you,

Mike Glatter
