@Brandon Stelling As a military veteran with 100% VA disability benefits, you can leverage VA home loans to purchase properties with no down payment, no PMI, and favorable terms, including multi-family properties for house hacking. 

I'm just starting out with a STR and I'm in the process of vetting companies for tax strategy and asset protection. 

Did you purchase this property all cash? 

I am in the process of closing on another house in Oregon.

Fractional TICs give owners the financial independence that has been associated with condos, without the need to wait for a condo conversion, a process which can take anywhere from 2 to 10 years depending on the specific requirements for the subject property.

Platforms like BiggerPockets, local REI meetups, and Facebook groups can connect you with investors seeking opportunities.Joint Venture Partnerships: Consider partnering with a seasoned developer or investor who can provide the capital while you contribute your vision and operational effort.Hard Money Loans: If you’ve identified a property, some hard money lenders may fund the purchase and development based on the future value (ARV) of the project.Crowdfunding Platforms: Sites like Fundrise, Groundfloor, and RealtyMogul cater to real estate developments and could be a great way to gather capital.Seller Financing: If the land seller is open to it, negotiate terms to finance the purchase directly with them.2.

I also purchased these while residing in CA!

Purchase price: $550,000 Cash invested: $450,000 6 unit multi-family BRRRR.

So I want purchase it as my first rental property it's going to need rennovations for sure not terrible shape just older rancher home.

We had the same thought process when we started A Blind Pig.
