CURRENTLY DEPLOYED. READY TO GET HOME AND HIT THE GROUND RUNNING!

Greetings! I have been dreaming about owning Real Estate for a while now (mainly the RICH DAD books), I just did not know how to proceed to the next step. Someone at my current military station in the Middle East suggested I check out BP and ... WHOA! What a whirlwind it's been! I love it! It's been about 8 weeks now since I slipped into this rabbit hole and I have not stopped learning.  I have listened to dozens of BP podcasts and books since that fateful day (you have to find the time). 

I feel MUCH MORE confident now than I did several weeks ago. I feel like I can pull the trigger in a couple months on an investment property once I get back home to my civilian life (I am an Air Force Reservist). I live in Miami, FL and have always liked the idea of Multi-Family homes.

I have full access to VA Loans and I'd imagine to the FHA203k loan as well.

I have a question ... which type of loan would you take a stab at first? VA or FHA or any other type? I have some cash to put as a down payment but would rather use it in case of any emergency were to happen with the property.

Any input would be incredibly invaluable and appreciated.

Thanks!

Carlos Guerrero
