They told me that VA had incentive tax breaks/refund as well, but my tax guy said "Nope!"

Putting an offer on a house in Virginia Beach and my buyers will likely be applying through United which is listed as the mortgage company.

At a 500-700k budget, I'd look at a 2-4 unit property in places like East Nashville, Colorado Springs, Raleigh-Durham, Richmond, VA, maybe Salt Lake City (though that budget might not cut it there).

Hi I have a friend who is buying his first duplex using a VA loan he’s in the process of evicting a tenant because he needs to move into one of the units but is having problems the tenant is on a month to month lease and he gave her a 30 day notice to leave.

I would suggest setting up a VA, building your own list and having them call and vet for motivated sellers for you.

@Richard Schubert no we don’t own in VA Beach, we wanted a longer season so we are a bit further south in North Myrtle Beach.

There's a nexus of factors tied to the LLC lending question worth noting.Typically we use a specific type of private business-purpose note that enables LLC lending.Other benefits of this note include: No Income Verification, No Credit Reporting, LLC Liability and Privacy protection, Unlimited Number of Loans, Far Less Documentation,... many obvious and non-obvious reasons savvy investors run this route.These notes are also competitive with FHA/VA/Conventional interest rates; however a 15-20% minimum down payment is required.Happy to help you cover the bases.
