I'm currently deployed and looking to buy my first investment property when I return back to Mass.

Account ClosedSome good and some bad advice because none of it is for you personally and a little bit of information overload that will lead to inaction or making mistakes.I'd recommend you see a real financial professional to help you and your family with your values and goals before determining your tactical strategies for capital deployment. 

Hi Manual,It's all really about how risk adverse you are to the capital being deployed and how far off you are from retirement among many other things.One question to you is how much return are you seeking annually of that 230k in an ideal world??

But it's NOT well discussed I feel re using a Joint Venture agreement and or a Partnership and LLC to deploy funds.

NO The banks usually only care that you can pay the note with the proceeds from rents collected and that the DSCR makes sense.I would study up some more and read up on the 50% costs and make sure when you deploy your hard earned capital that it counts the most.

But the military lifestyle includes uncertainty; deployments and permanent change of station moves can be ordered unexpectedly.

I'm currently deployed, and am looking to do a kitchen remodel on a property that I just purchased.

Steve - We just did a deploy . . . it was likely a temporary issue.

I will have my texas real estate license after my upcoming deployment, and hope to be a part time agent and learn more about the industry.

There are many reasons I do not understand why a lender that wants to deploy money would discourage business with charging up front Lender fees.
