I'm brand new, just getting started, so trying to get everything in order.

It really helped us a bunch as we got started a year ago.

Loan Closing Process & Borrower Forms: Soft quotes, hard quotes, loan application, underwriting period, standard loan forms, loan commitment, rate lock, loan closing, time to close (start to finish), etc.8. 

Under "Start a Business", choose "Limited Liability Company" and follow the directions.

I'd start with a small fine for the first offense.

You have an excellent jump start- the VA loan is such an amazing tool to get the ball rolling.

My son currently lives in the townhouse b/c he is going to school and works in the area.Since he is young and starting out in life, I would like for him to only cover the basic costs (taxes, HOA, utilities) just enough for me to break even (I believe that will put him slightly little lower than market rent rates). 

It's time to start the process as everyone else mentioned above.

Quote from @Jackson Harris: Hey Kai'ler for our STR portfolio and what our investors do is start getting it listed on Facebook/Zillow rental/Furnish Finder/etc now as a LTR for that time period you're talking about.

Personally, I started off getting referrals from other real estate investors when building my team but eventually found and added my own people to my network over time.
