Owner occupied.I’m active duty Air Force so I used my VA loan to purchase additional properties as I moved.

Purchase price: $220,000 I bought this 3 bed 2 bath condo and renovated from top to bottom: new floors, painted everything, granite in the bathrooms and kitchen, changed all (light) fixtures, and replaced the heating and air system.

Additionally, one of my good buddies @Doug Spence is active duty air force and mentors new investors.

Central air, full basement, 2 parking spaces in front of your front door. $2400 per month.
