Quote from @Nicholas Goerss: Hello all,I am getting ready to start looking at lender for my second conventional mortgage to buy my second property.

That's a great approach in terms of starting with a 3-month lease. 

If I were to start my business over, I would definitely choose the path that offers quicker financial rewards.

It was a tradeoff, I was willing to make that I could not have made when starting out with no funds.

When we moved, we turned it into a rental, hoping this would be the start of our real estate journey—something we’d like to continue once my husband retires.Some key details:My husband is active duty and will retire in 3 years.We have one final move coming up this summer to Raleigh, NC.Our current debts are crippling us—the high interest makes it tough to stay afloat every month.The plan me and my husband are thinking bout:Sell the rental property.Use the proceeds to pay off all our debts, set aside emergency funds and a down payment for our next home.Free up $1,500/month from debt payments, and that also can stash in a high-yield savings account.Regain full VA loan entitlement, allowing us to purchase a multifamily home and use the house hacking strategy for up coming move.Avoid capital gains tax, since April marks five years of ownership, and the tenant’s lease ends in May.This wasn’t our original plan, and we hate the idea of using our equity to pay off debt.

Quote from @Qais Attarwala: Hi everyone, Just wanted to start out by saying thank you to everyone in this really supportive community.

It started as an FHA loan but had to switch to conventional.

The first and most important step is to post the 10 day demand for rent letter to get the clock started.
