New to BP and Real Estate Investing - How can I use my VA LOAN to start investing?

[Charles White]

I stumbled across BiggerPockets while watching YouTube videos about Real Estate investing. Already I've learned so much about investing and what to expect. My story is the same as the majority of the BP community. I've always wanted to get into Real Estate but never took advantage of any oppurtunity to start.

I moved to Pittsburgh last year in hopes of starting any type of power move. I'm currently taking classes so I can get my Real Estate license. That might help me gain access to the MLS. I could find better deals on income properties.

One of my biggest concerns is my capital is low. I have an advantage which is my VA LOAN. I wonder how I can use my VA LOAN to finance a income property. I talked to a few people and I now know I can get up to a 4 unit property. I also know when I refinance I can get my VA LOAN back. What would be the best plan to use it to my advantage?

I appreciate any advice and I'm excited to have found the BiggerPocket community.
