Given your mobility for duty posts you can really ramp up your real estate portfolio while serving.Every time they got stationed somewhere they would purchase a property to live in using their VA and house hack.

I'm interested in investing in multi unit properties and potentially get into house hacking.

I am considering buying a property in Spokane that includes two separate housing units. 

Quote from @Andrea Lucarelli: I’m interested in beginning my REI career with purchasing a SFH or condo in Cleveland area (safe neighborhood) to list as a furnished rental for travel medical professionals, supply corporate housing needs, or house temporarily displaced families for insurance companies.  

I would certainly advertise that and add pictures and themed items to house.

If you are going to buy $75,000 houses in Memphis, you need to go visit them in person.I don't know anything about these companies, but when it sounds way too good to be true, it normally is.   

Or find a deal first then market it to buyers, then offer on the house and create an agreement with the seller & buyer?

Because EVERYONE wants to sell their house fast.People who list on the MLS want to sell their house fast, people that want to sell their house FSBO, want to sell their house fast.

I actually purchased a SF house with a two story detached garage in a nice area of brockton.

Just a different takeNow this is not to sayPS - those houses that were priced way too high and languish?
