Yes, you could use your VA loan.

Most people will get the loan in their name first, and then transfer it into the LLC after.

Thanks in advance!

It will also allow you to pull some cash out if you have the equity and for tax purposes.You can have two VA loans at the same time but having two means that the second home may not qualify for 100%. 

I really want to do local meetups and interact with more advanced investors but don’t know where to start.

Refi the house so they can continue to live in it, they will get the best loans on their primary residence.

Thanks in advance for your time. 

I would talk to some lenders  getting land loans and development loans with no experience is next to impossible starting out.. 

Thanks in advance  Old PM's were incompetent.

We are interested in refinancing our VA loan if it is worth it.
