Very passive, but expect it will require patience.  

Hey everyone currently active duty military I would love utilize my va loan for investment  purposes don’t know where to start  in GA btw 

Take that year to gain some financial literacy and find out what types of investments you're comfortable with, and find the right people to help you invest it.BUT, if you have piles of debt that you can't keep up with, don't wait a year to address those...

The money from a refinance isn’t considered taxable income because it’s a loan, not a sale or gain.

Does the person have something to gain from their answer?

Quote from @Sandeep K Mamidi: We have over the years bought and sold several rental properties in FL, AZ and TX (Pretty Passive)Want to become more active with Flips and grow our wealth using innovative strategies and expand into Multi Family Real EstateCongrats.

I think I’m more focused on long term gain, some short term cash flow is nice but I’m not planning to try and live on it or anything.

You will definitely learn a lot here - reading books and listening to podcasts, attending local meetups and conferences are all great ways to learn, gain advice, share thoughts and network!

Hopefully, you have been able to gain more advice since then.
