If you are on active duty right now you should easily qualify for a VA loan right now.....Go get it!

Mostly, it'll be the latter.Banks really do treat their customers like sheep - to be dutifully herded at will!

@John Lee interesting question and as an active duty Marine officer I have some insight into this situation.

And yes it's absolutely vital to read a ton of books, blogs and listen to podcasts every day to continue to grow your knowledge foundation.

Then when you PCS from Ft Bragg you can turn it over to PM and use it as a rental.I have known several NCOs and Officers that purchased a SFH at each of their duty stations; handed them over to PM and finished their 20 years with two sources of passive income.Highly suggest you look at the southern pines area if there are any deals; that is where you find the majority of the higher BAH earners going.Airborne!!!

And contrary to what many want to make us believe in courses, blogs or otherwise, it takes time, dedication, perseverence and money to make money.Learning is vital but can only do so much.

Lare corporations have a duty to protect the consumer and that is not happening here on a massive scale.

@Samuel PascalI have my real estate license and I think it is vital to have it in order to better understand the client side of things.

My roll would be to find, acquire, rehab if needed, and to do all ongoing PM duties.

Considering I could use the restored benefits to purchase another primary residence after I am transferred to my next duty station.
