So, I just recently helped out a marine who purchased in Oceanside with the same problem.

Marines...

Try Rob Seetan at Brewery CU or Marine CU.

Going back to my Marine Corps roots, I spoke with an old marine buddy of mine who suggested scoping out his (and my former) neck of the woods - Onslow County, Camp Lejeune, Stone Bay, Swansboro, Hubert, Richlands, Surf City, Topsail and the southern Outer Banks.

Before school, I served 5 years in the United State Marine Corps as a Light Armored Vehicle Crewman with two deployments to Afghanistan.I don't have any formal background in real estate, though I have always had a love for architecture.

Leland is right outside of Wilmington's city limits so the houses are respectable prices and Jacksonville is right where the Marine bases are so you will always have people to rent the homes.I'm doing pretty good in terms of knowing the areas but im nervous to make my first move and get out there.

There are current month to month tenants but I'm going to contract a marine crew housing company to rent per bed for yacht crews since it's close to the water. 

MHP are an endangered species.

You will probably need 20% down at a MINIMUM for those loan types.As a former Marine, I wish more veterans would use that VA loan for 2-4 unit properties. 

I am also a former US Marine and separated from service in Hawaii where I lived for 10 years.
