Purchase price: $389,000 We bought our first home in southern Maryland while my wife was stationed at JB Andrews.

you get stationed somewhere else.When you do get stationed somewhere else... refi out of your original va loan BUT STILL KEEP THE PROPERTY AND USE IT AS A RENTAL.Then repeat steps 2 and 3....

Originally from Orlando, I was stationed at Fairchild AFB, WA from 2009 to 2013, which is where I met my wife while she was a Senior attending Gonzaga University.

Looking to see if there are any investors stationed in Korea who meet up and talk about Real Estate?

Same if you borrowed money secured by a gas station and intended to use the money to send your daughter to college.

With the option of being able to transfer to a new duty station or stay in the area, I'm debating on how to proceed.

@Leo that depends on where you are stationed. the market should ALWAYS dictate whether you buy, or rent, the home for your family.that being said, using the VA loan to house hack a duplex, triplex, or four-plex is one of the best strategies you can use when starting out!

I'd also recommend PRP, Valley Station, Iroquois park, and Okolona.

I read an article about the new Ford Campus coming to the old train station and bringing thousands of new jobs to the area.

We did this in Bluewater Bay and have done it at other duty stations.
