I think it would be the right direction since we already decided to buy using a VA loan and live in SC. 

I would probably work with an attorney in North Carolina (or wherever you live) to do some estate planning since you do have young kids.

I live and work in the Atlanta, GA area.

One unvetted thought I’ve had for when I go live is to give VRBO a 1-2 week head start on our listing.

I know becoming a part time agent is one way, but where we live in south Florida seems to be overfilled with agents and I don't think its a great fit for us right now. 

Buyers don't look for financing and its foreign so they don't jump on a forsale listing on zillow.I've had the best (only) luck with zillow rental adds,   starting with the pitch;  rent to own, live in a great home while you pay off owning it. 

It has been a long process, but I am finally living in it.

That being said you can make that kind of money with fewer properties but you would need to do more intense work and higher risk Short Term Rentals, co-living, or Section 8.- My Strategy: I'd like to buy and hold residential rental properties.
