If you believe she is honest, hard working and her style of communicating fits you- she needs an app to help her with paperwork I suggest yardi or doorloop/ get a contract in writing that you negotiate with every nitty gritty duty- for example: who keeps copies of keys, how often are inspections done and how is the data provided to you, what dollar amount she can front money for repairs, when to call you...

I am an active duty Marine so we do have access to the VA loan.

Your goal of 100 units by the time you separate is great, I would also like move in that direction before I leave active duty. 

I’m active duty Air Force as well with four properties.

When we've bought property, if the seller is unrepresented or if they have a weak agent...we pretty much fleece them (sorry, I have a duty to our investors and our customers).

Make sure you understand their plan for getting your money back and how they aim to provide returns.Staying informed is vital for newcomers—learning about the market, connecting with other investors, and maybe starting with smaller investments to get your feet wet.

Many servicemembers will buy a new home with every duty station.  

And why do they settle for such low returns, and are willing to kill their Baby Money Soldiers on luxuries, instead of saving them and deploying them into more lucrative investments.It's our duty to share with others what we see, and hopefully we can reach more people willing to learn how to take control of their financial future.Ginothanks!

If your orders show that your active duty is ending within the next 12 months, a Conventional or VA loan program won't be able to count the current military income to help you qualify.

Your duty is to the seller.
