Hey all,I am in the process of looking for my first home in Richmond, with the intent to house hack either a single family with roommates, or a small multi.A bit about myself- I am currently on my second deployment, this time with the Army Reserves, and plan to use my VA loan to finance the purchase. 

I plan on deploying the signs on a Friday, late  in the afternoon and then retrieve them Sunday night, which I'm hoping will help me avoid a fine by the city/county. 

You're obviously in a great position to deploy a good investment strategy but which one fits.

I’ve read that a lot of military folks prefer the house hack, since being active duty may cut into time, from working full time to getting deployed, etc.

I am deployed right now, but I'll be back next month and will make way over to Orlando to meet some of you!

To answer you question, on what's the problem with six months, I'm just looking at the fastest way to purchase an asset, refinance it at a low rate, and deploy the  cash again.

They are very easy to work with during deployments or other situations where you don't have the luxury of walking into your local Wells Fargo bank and talking to someone. 

The person that applied after her had sterling credit but unfortunately only wants to rent for a short amount of time (deploying to army early next year). 

@Scott Amendola I have definitely achieved those numbers in the past, but I don't want to be so selective that I never deploy capital.

For example, how long do I have to form a OZ fund, raise the money and deploy the capital to purchase 20 SFRs/duplexes and/or triplexes ?
