While its true that listing agents might look unfavorably upon VA loans because of some of its unique characteristics, I think explaining the agent the benefits you have and why you are submitting a VA offer goes a long way especially if using a local lender as opposed to the USAAs and Navy Feds of the world.Happy belated Veteran's Day!

Second we got started at 23 with nothing other than plans of not being stuck entering a second career when my husband retired from the navy (god and navy willing) in 15 years.While we made mistakes, and had lots of learning experiences in the past 3.5 years we have been very successful 5 houses later.

I am a seven year navy veteran looking to get into real estate investing and I know I can’t do it alone. 

I’m originally from Washington State, but I am currently stationed here in Virginia (I’m in the Navy) to attend my C school and this will most likely be my permanent duty station as well.

That's not saying she has to go get a 9 to 5, unless she wants to, but maybe now that you'd be available to help with the kids, she can help financially.My hubby just "retired" from the Navy at the ripe old age of 38.  

@Jack Gray My husband is military, navy.

In the end we  know it will be worth it because we can retire at 42 and 44, when my husband retires from the navy (god and navy willing). 

A lot of great things in favor for the Saratoga market, with the track, Global Foundries, Skidmore College, and the Navy.

I think the only colors it wouldn't go with are navy blue and dark gray.

For context I have about 7 years experience in Handyman (and started my electrical license before going to the navy) and have just gone into business for myself.
