Also, how much time do you want to spend doing real estate vs. your main job or extra work in order to fund it.

@Landon Sheveland How exciting that you and your wife are taking this first step in Real Estate! 

There's no real wrong answer to your question, but the right answer starts with you figuring out what general direction you want to aim in. 

If you aren't getting a real deal on it then why would you buy it? 

Does anyone know of any meetups/ networking events regarding real estate or entrepreneurship?

OO loan seems like real long shot. 

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.

In my case, I have residential rentals in one LLC, commercial properties in another, self storage in a third, and my real estate company operates in a fourth.

When I consider the risk and the rebuilding costs, I am surprised the insurance is not even higher price.We got a referal for our CA FAIR agent from the RE agent and they were real responsive.
