Three Super Bowls in the last five years is even nicer

I have four properties with three using my VA loan.

Before or after you closed, did you go talk to the other three homes and let them know what you were planning and how you were going to operate? 

When I offer to proceed with an applicant, they have 24 hours to put down a binder payment equal to one month's rent. 

If its a 40k machine, then maybe you're saving the rental money in three years which isn't bad. 

This money WAS going into three SFH but I believe these homes will drop in value in the next 24 mo.

I would suggest finding an experienced investor and doing one to three projects with them so that you learn and come out profitable.2.

Regardless of how you find them, try to interview at least three managers1.
