But unless you have a second source of cash to put into real estate, you are going to have to do some sort of active income (i.e. flips or wholesale) to generate short term capital to deploy in rentals.

@Drew Mylenbusch, financially speaking it's best to keep the loans and deploy your capital on a new investment property.

What would you say is the best way to find real estate investors in the area that are looking to deploy capital?

Once complete switch units and rent the unit with the TLC at market rate.If you get deployed to a different location, rent the unit that you are vacating.I know the cash flow ratio is required for 80% LTV to achieve some cash flow but I do not know what the cash flow ratio needs to be at the high LTV of a VA loan.  

Don’t want to go through an eviction while you are deployed because PM put garbage tenants into the place.

Good afternoon everyone, I’m a 21 Alabama National Guard soldier and I’m currently deployed in Iraq.

Get couple room mates and sublease rooms to them you could probably get your living expenses low.Then deploy capital elsewhere with better returns...

Managing a lot of single-family rentals is different when you are in your 30s than when closing on retirement age, so you can always sale your appreciated portfolio and deploy that capital into a more passive play or start doing that when you think it's appropriate for you.Good luck 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 

I did that for the first couple of years but didn’t like the constant turnover in tenants around military bases (sometimes less than a couple of months with deployment orders).

The financial vehicle used to “house” the dollars is less important than getting to the point where you can deploy the dollars on a solid investment opportunity.
