Here's a blog I wrote about H.S.A.s invested in alternative assets Financial Independence Retire Early - Achieve FIRE Faster with a Self-Directed HSA- https://udirectira.com/achieve-fire-faster-with-a-self-direc...

Additional costs will creep in and costs seem to go up faster than rents, so I would sell and try to otherwise optimize the VA loan. 

You may also want to look into 2-4 units as those are the easiest to finance and help you grow faster.

It was all really quick, and the time to complete everything happened a lot faster than I expected (which was a good thing).I was worried at first that I had to use all the partners that Rent to Retirement had, but it was really easy for me to shop around for different lenders with different terms and rates, insurance providers, and property management company.

Since I have a fixed-rate mortgage, I understand this wouldn’t lower my monthly payment but would shorten the loan term by reducing the principal faster.

Hard money lenders are often more willing to take on higher-risk projects and offer faster closings, but the trade-off can be higher interest rates and shorter terms.

Pay more each month and be done with loan faster...shocked face.
