Here is the chart of VA 30 year fixed rates:  https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/OBMMIVA30YF   You will see that current VA rates are right around around 6.5%.

I recommend that you find a trusted or recommended Mortgage Loan Originator (MLO), who can give you options for property-based loans (mostly investment loans) and they don't use your taxes but the P&L of the property.

This is more than enough to do PML's whether you originate or purchase from a broker is up to you.

My name is Montse, I’m originally from Spain, and I currently live in the Netherlands.

The capital loss would be calculated as the difference between your original investment amount and the amount you received back (in this case, 10% of your principal).

When we moved, we turned it into a rental, hoping this would be the start of our real estate journey—something we’d like to continue once my husband retires.Some key details:My husband is active duty and will retire in 3 years.We have one final move coming up this summer to Raleigh, NC.Our current debts are crippling us—the high interest makes it tough to stay afloat every month.The plan I proposed to my husband:Sell the rental property.Use the proceeds to pay off all our debts, set aside emergency funds and a down payment for our next home.Free up $1,500/month from debt payments, and that also can stash in a high-yield savings account.Regain full VA loan entitlement, allowing us to purchase a multifamily home and use the house hacking strategy for up coming move.Avoid capital gains tax, since April marks five years of ownership, and the tenant’s lease ends in May.This wasn’t our original plan, and we hate the idea of using our equity to pay off debt.
