Hello @Tove Fox,You are not investing in a state, you will invest in an individual city.

I've Been renting all four rooms in my house out individually for about 10 months now.

I desire to connect with individuals who have had experience investing in real estate while serving in the military on active duty.

We have done it both ways where we fund purchase and they cover rehab but if the individual is less experienced we do not do it that way, we have them put more money into the deal from the start and fund the draws, reason why is we also had a deal where the person said they would do this and never did anything and property sat and loan matured and it was a pain.Just recognize you will still not get 100% financing for the purchase, so you are putting money in up front. 

kind of like prosper and those type of companies ( which I cant see loaning money to individuals totally unsecred like a CC company ) that seems like super high risk.

Now focus on what you, not what the real estate investment community, want to do after you educate yourself on both sides.If you are interested in selling, I know plenty of individuals looking for a similar home in the Scottsdale area as an investment property and I think you could get a great return right now.

I work out of my basement and have been trying to find a location near me that rents out individual offices. 

Hey @Zach Howard,Happy to connect with you and put you in touch with some solid individuals in Augusta, GA.

@Alecia Loveless is correct--tenants need access 24/7 to their electric service panel, water and heat, assuming those are individual utilities for each unit. 

If a cash out refinance, many lenders will allow the cash out to satisfy the reserves requirement.DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC.
