Brendan, the VA loan can be a powerful tool in your investing career especially as you continue to PCS around the country.

The MFM group is a machine that churns out many people looking to become MF investors.If you are interested in learning more about commercial RE, not just MF, there are many online virtual meetups as well which can give you a lot more exposure than just your local market for in person events.There are also other, more affordable, options to continue your education rather than paying a large amount for a mentorship program right away.Happy to share these with you if interested.

I'm glad it's working out for you now, and I hope it continues into the future.

Wait, wait, wait... all of these issues and you continued to use him as a PM???

The only way you will have a reliable income is if a reliable tenant continuously occupies your property (your “customer”).

Currently, I live in Hawaii, house hacking my own property, and am looking to expand into out-of-state long-term rentals.My goals now are to master the art of wholesaling, continue raising private money, and build a strong portfolio of long-term rentals.

I also know that they "didn't know about the sale ahead of time", so I have to imagine that played a role in the lien. 

The fastest way back is getting a full time job or acquire rental properties/units/apt's since rental income can be used instantly (75% of gross - PITIA monthly payment = net rental Income asap/instantly).All other forms of full doc income receipt of the income to utilize it on a loan application like alimony (needs 3-6 months of receipt + 36 months of continuation).

Perhaps, it is best that we terminate the lease because I can’t continue accepting late payments until the lease is up.  

I will play devil's advocate here.
