Are there specific military programs or contacts I should look into for housing opportunities?

Response for Vanessa Switzler: Hi Vanessa, Congrats on expanding into Little Rock—adding a new MSA is an exciting step!

I have found some information that might be helpful John.There are government backed programs like Fannie Mae Homestyle Renovation Loan and Freddie Mac Home Possible Renovation Loan, in addition to the FHA 203k loan. 

That is super exciting.

I am actually starting a Reverse Trolling Coaching Coaching program, and I am just Reverse Reverse Reverse Trolling right now.

There is no shortage of realtors excited to give you their take on the market there.

Transitioning into real estate investing is exciting, and your healthcare background and discipline will serve you well.

What’s exciting about your journey is that NYC has so many unique opportunities—you’re not just buying a place; you’re investing in a lifestyle.

Your journey into short-term rentals sounds like an exciting shift—I can feel your energy for taking on a new challenge. 

I personally like one sponsor who has been through multiple real estate cycles without losing any investor money, puts very large amounts of skin in the game, is conservatively leveraged and has a very good 1031 exchange program.
