I have always loved the idea of multi-family with your VA benefit. 

@Ryan Keenan You can only buy one property using your VA loan benefit.

If you sacrifice short term profitability on your PM company for the long term benefit of building the PM company that will manage your future portfolio it should pay off.

Every veteran should know about these benefits. 

It also is there for other landlords to see, so it can benefit others in our industry.

On the other end of the spectrum, when there's something I don't know, I am not ashamed to ask a man for input and gain the benefit of his experience and talent.

@Leo Hunterthe smoothest workaround is to buy using your VA Loan benefit (seeing as the VA will only give it to you as a personal loan) and then transfer the title to your LLC - Read "How Do I Transfer Title of a Property from a Person to an LLC?"

There also could be tax benefits and fringe benefits like personal use.Good luck!

Another benefit is you can enter the market sooner with a lower cost of entry( down payments 10-15%), helping you scale and make real estate a full-time income source sooner.

As the part owner in the real estate investing company, I get all the benefits (and yes, I realize, all the hassles/headaches/risks) associated with being in this part of the business.4.
