In this type of area having just 1 or 2 properties is ok because your tenant base is higher end and more stable. 

@Spencer Douglas Did you end up unwinding from Anderson?

But to your point, a current project I’m about to start, I can tell you I had to push back on ARR as the comps used by lenders were entirely outside of what I’m bringing to market.

And congratulations if you made it to the end again. 

My foreclosure sale date is the end of March 2023 and I will not anticipate getting paid from the sale for another 5-6 months. 

Appraisals came back awesome my credit score came back 720.

Your VA loan will be crucial to your real estate investing growth, especially since it affords you the potential opportunity to own more than one property, depending on your overall allotment.For active military personnel, that conundrum of where to invest and where you will end up is always part of the issue that sometimes causes analysis paralysis so it's great you have one in VA Beach already.

People who have service dogs (or horses, as these are the only 2 service animals) that are genuine have no issue disclosing that on the front end and can answer the 2 questions easily - is the animal necessary for a disability, and what specific tasks has the dog (or horse, if you're getting one of those) been trained to perform? 

I have been investing mainly in trust deeds but like you got connected with Dave and just recently ended up investing in his fund, my primary reason was for diversification and because it is passive. 

Real estate is not the end all be all panacea for building wealth, there are a lot of other options many of which will give you way fewer headaches than real estate will!
