Your VA loan will be crucial to your real estate investing growth, especially since it affords you the potential opportunity to own more than one property, depending on your overall allotment.For active military personnel, that conundrum of where to invest and where you will end up is always part of the issue that sometimes causes analysis paralysis so it's great you have one in VA Beach already.

I found a house that I like to purchase in a great neighborhood and the exterior looks great for a 1922 stick built house.

Who owns the house, your or the LLC?

.: Hi,Is there a way to download specific addresses for houses in a certain area online?

Detached HousesWhen in doubt, consider the tried-and-true detached single-family house.

@Brian Rocha It’s clear why most lenders insist on including rehab funds in the loan, and all of our partner banks follow this practice for fix-and-flip loans to minimize risk and meet securitization standards.

When I arrived I wasn't able to find a home, but I was able to find a house to rent a room from.

If you're willing and able, I do recommend the "house hacking" strategy which is just a fancy name for buying a rental property and living in one of the units, because you'll get very favorable financing - an owner-occupied fixed-rate 30-year mortgage.I'd also say, analyze that property as if you won't live there and it's a pure rental, and make sure the property is still cash flow positive if there's a tenant in your unit because then you'll know if it's actually a good investment.And when you analyze it, include payment of a property manager in your #s because if you don't, and doing so would make it go cash flow negative, then you've just bought yourself a job because you literally can't step away from managing it without losing money.
