Correction - Michael Saylor of Micro Strategy raised $650 million, up from the original $400m, in bond sales, within 48 hours. 

I am a realtor in Milwaukee that specializes in working with investors, and I also have a portfolio of rental properties myself.I will get to your questions, but here is some background regarding loans and in general. - If you are NOT buying the property as your primary residence (in this case, it sounds like it will be an out of state rental), you are looking at putting 20% - 25% down if you are going to use a conventional mortgage.

For due diligence, since you're new to industrial real estate, it’s best to engage a third-party firm that specializes in property assessments or partner with an experienced investor.To structure your involvement, if your spouse is a licensed agent, she could act as the buyer’s agent to earn a commission.

So, unless this was an OLD contract from prior to the NAR settlement it is very likely an exclusive buyer agency agreement. do you live in a special universe where realtors do what they say?

I mention this, because at the end of the day, these are all investments, just like stocks and bonds and private equity, etc.  

I would say my situation is unique or special but I'm sure it is more common than I know.

I am also a real estate agent and I was wondering if there are any associations or something similar that I could join to become a real estate agent specializing in VA Loans so I can help my fellow vets. 

Buy a townhouse in this development near where I live called Sea Colony:Details: $860k for a comfortable townhouse.Pros:Comfortable place to live for the next few years, and I’d still have liquidity to invest elsewhere.It is still in my current community where all of my friends live, so I would still be where I want to be location-wise.Will get appreciation.Cons:High HOA fees ($660/month) and potential 10k special assessment in the next few years.Likely won’t cash flow after we move, so unsure whether it would make sense to hold.3.

There is nothing special about buying properties not listed on the MLS so don’t limit yourself.

This is perfect if you’re using the BRRRR strategy and want to access equity sooner rather than later.Working with a lender that specializes in non-QM loans for foreign nationals can help you get favorable terms and streamline the process.
