A lot to digest my first week

Jason Osburn
Posted

I would rather build new instead of purchasing something existing. Nearly all the advice is geared towards the latter. How do I use the real estate machinery to purchase land and build a structure? I have access to a VA loan once it becomes habitable. It's my intention to design a single family style structure that I can then rent excess bedrooms to the aviation contractors that I work with. They make great money, work a lot of overtime and usually have families and homes elsewhere so there won't be any furniture dragging. After a year I'll move out and try to replace my W-2 with rental income. Any advice would be appreciated.
