Lumber has skyrocketed in the past year, steel just got hit with a 25% tariff, and quartz countertops from China are getting hit with duties as well.

@Jonathan BeemerWhether you are on active duty or not, you can still use the VA Loan my friend

I don’t think they put on the contract that their duty is to find you the most competitive price so don’t see a high likelihood of the contract being void and releasing you from whatever you signed.

I also see this as an opportunity to learn more about real estate in preparation for future investments.About me: 40 y.o. single O-4P, with probably 4-14 more years of active duty before retirement.

An executed document delineating duties, expectations and compensation structure.

His attorney has a duty to look out for his clients interests not your interests.

My next choice would be a Turnkey  Property that is renovated and managed by some other group of people and your only duty, after your original inspection and an evaluation, is to get a check from them each month. 

All Contractors are subject to the lender’s determination that the contractors are qualified and experienced, have all appropriate credentials required by the state, are financially able to perform the duties necessary to complete the renovation work in a timely manner, and agree to indemnify the borrower for all property losses or damages caused by its employees or subcontractors.Multiple Specialized Contractors: Since this is a limited repair/renovation program, no General Contractor is required.

I am a Active Duty Military Officer and have been interested in real estate investing for about 5 years.

Good morning all, I was just wondering if any of my other military investors on active duty out there have any insight into investing in different states?
