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!

That’s the best bet.

Welcome to BiggerPockets Lee and best of luck investing!

I’m exploring different neighborhoods and wanted to reach out to the group for some advice.Where do you think the best areas are to invest in Dallas with this budget?

Trying to decide the best move for myself.

My best student  crossed the 1 million mark in net worth and he is in his early 30s!

Even the best retail agents still lack the operations and understanding of what makes a good deal, especially if they do not invest.  

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.

If you are going to get a DSCR loan, you cannot live in the home, end of story.There's plenty of qualified LO's around here who's job it is to find the best product for you.

I sold out years ago and it was the best thing I ever did. unless your up in Madison or by the REsivour in prime areas Getting houses stripped is a major issue and letting folks just walk in is insanity in those markets NO LOCAL would remotely consider that.
