I started off with 3 houses on a lot and another house two lots down.

They had previously been combined into one house.

De Sota is in Jonson County KS which is the hotest housing market in the metro.

You can save a lot on costs if you do many repairs yourself.Look into hard money lenders or private lenders for the initial purchase and rehab.Connect with wholesalers, agents specializing in investment properties, and other BRRRR investors to find deals and learn more.

Given your mobility for duty posts you can really ramp up your real estate portfolio while serving.Every time they got stationed somewhere they would purchase a property to live in using their VA and house hack.

For flips, calculate the after-repair value (ARV) and subtract purchase, rehab, holding, and selling costs.Pay attention to location, rental demand, and the property’s condition.

Quote from @Duane Williams: We’re a family-owned fix-and-flip company operating in San Antonio, TX, and Northern Virginia, managing everything in-house—from wholesale acquisitions to rehab & construction (with our own project managers and crews) to listing & selling through our licensed brokerage.

While I can imagine some cities might be against "boarding houses" or enforce their "brothel law" I can't imagine too many cities would be supportive of it. 

I have a seller who wants to sell a house that is worth roughly $830K. 

We also paid for an inspection on the house & 2 appraisal fees.I called Nick to ask questions and he didn’t like the questions I was asking so called my partner and told him I needed to back off or they’d cancel the deal!
