Putting it there as a holding vehicle for buying real estate will be more work than it's worth.Perhaps look into a First Lien HELOC or a high cash value life insurance policy.

Housing has gone mainstream as an investment vehicle.  

You can learn a lot about how to manage properties and whether it's the right vehicle for you.

You can't get investment properties that are good for cash buyers with a VA loan, you have to see what works with your finance vehicle.

I see real estate investing as a vehicle for long term wealth and financial freedom and plan to quit my teaching career and manage/grow our investment portfolio long term.We are looking to enter the market in short term rentals in the Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville area of Tennessee.

The way PMI is set up now, it's really hard to get away from it, even with a refinance.Refinancing is a vehicle via which to change the terms of your loan, hopefully in your favor.I recommend you check out the Pittsburgh REIA.

This is from the link you shared "A qualified Opportunity Fund is any investment vehicle organized as a corporation or partnership with the specific purpose of investing in Opportunity Zone assets.

I keep 6 months of expenses, plus the insurance deductible for everything (vehicles, rentals, personal property), plus the money for any major things I expect to replace in the next 5 years (e.g. roof, HVAC, windows)  are in the CAPEX fund just incase they die earlier than I expect their life to last.

I have yet to find any other investment vehicle out there that offers all of these fantastic opportunities to increase your wealth!

Hi, plan to buy a commercially zoned land and lease it without any development to business like garage/mechanic to park vehicles etc., is that a good investment ?.
