As more properties are acquired and cash flow grows, this mindset may change.

I used to run it directly from erent payment, but they got acquired by RentRedi which I now use (it's a free perk with a BP Pro membership).

This exchange would function in the name of the Partnership and said partnership would acquire separate replacement property that would be allocated after purchase to each of the owners individually.

That was acquired at $678,000 for a 6-plex.

With your disability rating, you'll also be exempt from the VA funding fee which will save you thousands of dollars.It can be difficult to scale a rental portfolio using only the VA loan because VA designed this loan to be a benefit to the veteran to help you acquire a primary residence. 

You can add more veterans to add more units but they may not want to tie up their entitlement into this venture unless it brings in some major profits, or else they can go acquire their own owner occupied 4 unit & make their own profits.I'd love to brainstorm more about this idea with you if you're still pondering it yourself!

Back in Washington where we fix & flipped properties I did anything from general contracting from demo to finishing touches, managed project budgets & timelines to stay within our projections and SOW, raised capital for down payment on hard money loans, interest on loans and rehabs, worked with my hands (best at flooring, trim, caulk, cabinets, fences, punch list items) and was the real estate agent for acquiring and selling our flips.

Would be fine with a 10 year arm or 30 year fixed product.Why would you not do the 1031 exchange option based on the way you outlined the scenario above (acquire an appreciating asset, defer taxes)?

.:) I am new and starting out in the wholesaling game and I had some questions if you don't mind....one being how to acquire auction houses and wholesale them. 

Where do you plan to acquire most of your investment properties?
