Brendan, the VA loan can be a powerful tool in your investing career especially as you continue to PCS around the country.

If you put them in suitable housing during that time, they owe you the rent.

However it’s hard to get that ball rolling without any deals under my belt even though I do have experience with managing a syndication and property management through my professional career. 

I don't have any debt and I don't have kids or much going on outside of my 9-5 career. 

This experience will a tremendous value to you and your investing career!

Dallas-Fort Worth is a smart choice, man the growth there is off the charts, and there’s plenty of room for first-timers with the drive to go all-in.I remember helping a buddy of mine who was in a similar boat to you, he was switching from a totally different career and diving into real estate.

Establish long-term relationships with them.My career has been a wild ride of experiences and oh-so-valuable lessons.

This would not be suitable for long term financing. 

The real question is why do you want to start your investment career learning from afar and trusting others to hold the bag for you?

Make no mistake: syndications are highly speculative investments in a PROMOTER with limited upside, but the very real chance of losing your entire principal that are suitable ONLY for highly-experienced investors who understand the risk level and what it means to have no access to your capital once invested for 5 or more years after the investment.
