Alternatively, can you purchase a new primary residence with a VA loan and use your current one as a rental? 

Check in with @Joseph Chiofalo for alternatives if the loan amount is above $75-100k.

BTW, Ai is about to replace all real estates agents in the next 5 years, seek an alternative as fast as you can.

If certain requirements are met, this is possible with as little as 3.5-5% down for full income verification borrowers and 10% down for alternative income verification. 

They can use alternative rent models (STR, MTR, rent by room, etc) to increase cash flow. 

. - I totally agree with you on the location piece and that makes this tough.This isn't just about cash flow but a seemingly unique and great oppty for taking $500k of tax free Sec121 dollars off the table.Curious if you see the the alternative strategy to be : - to hold the SFH long enough for appreciation + CF to cover the $500k + taxes on those capital gains if selling?

Alternatively, we could do longer rentals and have my wife achieve REP status.

From how I understand it another landowner did not want to see the land rezoned because his lot was the alternate. 

Alternatively, you can use a third-party registered agent service.

Also, at first glance, I thought that the alternate name they used, rentals2retirement was actually "Rent to Retirement", a company that I had researched here on BP.
