It has to be your primary residence to be able to use your VA loan.

@Rich Davis "The difference is I'm in Maine, where the evictions laws lean landlord friendly.

I think I was fortunate to find a roll outside of real estate to diversify my income across two different sectors of the economy. 

Although they may seem similar, there are large differences between active and passive investments.  

Maybe in different markets you could find $300/door but I think it is going to be difficult as a beginner.

If a property is for sale but currently has tenants in it, but the buyer is buying for their primary residence, do eviction laws still apply? 

In some cases, after running the numbers, I’ve even faced potential negative returns, causing me to miss out on promising deals here in South Florida.That brings me to my question: I currently own two homes—one is my primary residence, and the other is a rental property.

I'll settle for a variation of this and give a little, but I simply pass on PMs who hand me a term sheet with 10+ different types of fees.

So brainstorm the different options then pull the trigger!

There is a difference.$300k cash flow in 20 years is an ambitious but not unrealistic goal.
