@Chris Mason Thank you for the facts about the VA loan and the insights my friend, I do plan on doing a version of your example, unfortunately I don't believe the spread will be as lucrative in small town WI lol.

See if you can run comps and narrow it down to the few that are in your neighborhood or as close as you can get to it.

If nothing comes in a year, you can then re-purpose this same objective for $600k and spread it to 2 properties or 1 better one. 

What this narrow group of investors have in common though is they know the market well because they lived there for a couple years.

However there is this really REALLY Nasty IRS Rule called AMT that has me looking for a way to spread this gain over a few years.

I've been thinking about teaching at the local base on occasion to spread the word. 

Hi Braedon,Thank you very much, to be honest, the place where I started the business is what boosted the portfolio but with hard work, commitment and focusing on great service toward customers and owners alike. if you do a great work, then people will spread the news among their group and they will call you.
