there are of course more creative strategies to reduce that up front outlay, or recoup your capital, like, say, the BRRRR method. but they are time and energy intensive and certainly not hands-off. 

So I'm strongly considering adding a handful of these to my buy & hold portfolio.I understand that there's no "risk-free" method to acquiring these properties subto, but have any of you had success over the long-term acquiring properties with VA loans attached?

Congrats @Shaylynn O'Leary on taking the first steps in your investing journey!

I'm working on part of an investment strategy and I'm curious about having one more valuable property that, either through a large down payment or BRRR method comes in at 70 LTV, versus using creative financing to have multiple less valuable properties at high LTV.So, assuming all properties would be at just above break even, is it better to have one $600k property at 70% LTV, or four $300k properties at 95% LTV?
