If you go to their official website, they have some nice PDFs that describe various scenarios of how you can use VA loans - give it a read. 

I've been in a leadership course where the instructor described me as "Ready, Fire, Aim" right off the bat.

She is doing what you're describing now as a Navy family.

You may not have $100k.Also, you may qualify for the "unforeseen circumstances" exemption and be able to avoid tax, based on what you described.

Thank you for trying the problem as I described a few postings ABOVE!

Again, Keep learning about this method because it is effective but we use it in a different way than you are describing.  

One way to think about it could be to tokenize the properties and have the shareholders hold tokens in these properties combined with the right to use the properties that have shares in.I wonder how you would want to make sure that the numbers work. if it is just a matter of a number of people sharing the properties with each other, you could just do that on AirBnB, but if there ownership is to go farther, some more details would need to be revealed.Based on what you have described, I don;t really see an incentive for any investor to do a deal like that when staying in other countries can be done with VRBO or hotels, or AirBnB, or many other options.

@Nancy NevilleI have set up as you described above, but the rent payments received show up in reports as a negative amount and the expense show as a positive amount.

In my experience “hard” money is used to describe an extreme section of what’s referred to as asset based lending.  

I will say in Texas probably 90% or more of the properties you describe will not actually go to the sale.
