Quote from @Doug Spence:

@Kyle Kaiser What are your long-term goals? Have you and your wife discussed where you want to be in 10-20 years? 

How can you chart a course for your future if you don't know what your destination is?

That being said, I'm a huge fan of the VA loan house hack! If you can find a way to rent out your current house and keep that super low interest rate, you'll be able to build some serious wealth over the years. Good luck and let me know if I can help.

@Doug Spence My long term goal is to own an apartment complex by 2030. The biggest concern I have about keeping my current property is after closing costs/moving expenses/ on my next property I could be broke. I only have about 20k liquid right now but could be at 30+ by when I am targeting to close July-August. I believe if I sold my current home the equity I have plus local comps lead me to believe I can walk away with about 50k plus in cash, getting me closer to my goal of buying a multi family property within the next year. I am not sure if my current home's rental potential is worth me getting into a risky financial situation.

Currently looking to purchase a new primary residence and list my existing home. Long story short, I have made several improvements since January and I am wondering if I can offset the cost of improvements this year come tax season even though the house was not occupied my a renter at that time. Thank you for your time!

@Josef Hardi

First of all, thank you for your reply! 

I do have about 20K liquid to use. I am not interested in FHA loans because they cannot be used for a rental property. If I were purchasing another home to live in, I would be using a VA loan. I don't have much equity in the house I am in right now as I refinanced recently.

@Zachary Ellis

Yep! I have been in my current home for almost 2 years so I have satisfied the requirements. Currently looking for a turn key home to move my family into in the most desirable school districts in my area.

I am very determined to begin investing into multi tenant rental properties and would like any mentorship/opinions someone is willing to offer. The pickle: Wife and I HHI is 255K. Easily have about 2-3k per month to invest with. Where do you recommend beginning? How can I secure funding to purchase a 2-4 tenant property? I am not flush with cash so I would love to learn how to access capital for a loan? Would you recommend a traditional investment loan through a bank or private equity? Second problem, we are currently using a VA loan for our house and could rent it out as well. What I would be afraid of is purchasing a new home to live in and only receiving around 1k per month in rental income and then deepening my DTI making it harder to secure a loan for a multi tenant property. Would you recommend buying and renting our current home first or focusing on a multi tenant as it could be a bigger stream of income?
