Today, I have the cash savings, but I still keep my credit lines active just in case something unexpected happens (my credit lines don't cost me anything to keep open and using them to pay for an emergency is more convenient than trying to transfer cash on the spot from savings to checking).

Looking to get connected to likewise investors I am actively looking for multifamily, buy and hold properties in the Dallas/Fort Worth area as well as contacts in all aspects of real estate.

I’m looking for advice from local investors who are active in the business.

If you get new orders ( assuming you are active) there is no issue with the VA loan allowing you to lease prior to the 12 month " live there" rule.

The Portland/Vancouver area has a lot of active BP members and there are a lot of opportunities to meet people.

@Quinterris Brown Go to local investing clubs and stay active on various forums like this.

I continued looking at houses even though I didn't think I'd be ready to find my next property anytime soon as I had completed all the renovations on the first property myself while being full-time active duty military.

And then finding an experienced active investor and putting passive IRA money into a deal with them and learning the ropes along the way.First of all, does this sound reasonable?

You have been given information now needed to be administered in your daily activities.

The news and a few big names had a role also in creating uproar on vacation rentals and blames them for the lack of affordable homes. whatever your stance.
