Best of luck to you and keep learning.

I wish you the best of luck. 

Great to see you getting into the Southeast rental market.Wishing you the best of luck.

I am currently living in rental apartment and, I am looking for best strategy for first investment.  

Jon, I have done this and honestly their nightly rates in most cases are within $20 per night of my place which doesnt have a pool.

Best to hire it out, even though it hurts the margins, it saves my time and stress substantially.

Comps in the last 30 days sold between 90,000-100,000.Any advice on what you guys think would be the best thing to do?

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

Some of the best advice I got that I will forget was this:"SOME OF THE BEST DEALS, ARE THE ONES YOU DON'T GET"Let that sink in for a while...I remember 4117 s Michigan Ave. here in Chicago, it was an awesome 8 unit full gut condo conversation - I loved the deal and still belileve it would have been a great deal, but would have pinched me so thin I am not sure how I would have survived. 

Best advice to you would be to use that VA loan as many times as you can and buy primary residences for a year, rent them out and then buy something else with the VA!
