It’s nice to see that you started that way and were then able to transition and scale with more multi-family units.

You’re precious experience with your moving company will definitely help the transition to your investing career.

You can make a "landing zone in the entrance that is wood or carpet or cork with a transition to the tile if it is that much of a concern. 

If you buy as a "Primary Home" you need to occupy for at least (6) months and you would need to refinance to transition loan into conventional primary to investment and move out.

Our long term goal is to establish our business over the next couple years (generating income history, credit, credibility, etc.) before I retire from military service and transition to full time real estate investing. 

Hi there,So I've been remodeling homes for a number of years and want to move into building custom homes and I was hoping to hear from people who have maybe made the same leap or any advise/things to look for in making this transition.

Take advantage of military benefits like the VA loan and relocation help, and chat with a financial advisor who knows military stuff to create a solid plan for your exciting transition!

However, if you consider the migration patterns from CA/NY whose to say it doesn't start to transition there in the next 7-12 years?

Folks in transition, i.e. homeowners moving, divorced etc.

I invest mainly in New Jersey with 2-4 unit multi family homes and will be transitioning into doing more of this and larger 50+ unit Multi families.Thank You,Kamran
