Hello, Richard First off condolences to your family it's always extremely tough to lose a family member. I

This is a sidetrack from wholesaling.....but one of the greatest benefits you get being a former military member is the ability to use a VA loan to buy a primary residence.

Not the best investment huh.It was a loser for sure, but it was bought for two reasons, one to get me off the sidelines and into the game, and secondly, to help a family member.Fast forward 5 years, the family member is no longer in that home (but is in another investment property I purchased just over a year ago).Home is currently rented below market to a fine family that has been there over a year now.

You have to call and ask to be re opened.

We also want to invest in Texas (may be Dallas and or its surrounding cities) and may be re-locate to that place sometime in future . 

I'm not looking to simply flip these units but am more interested in the long term rental income.I have read about more creative financing when there is seller financing available, but it seems these units are all being sold be re agents.

I started as a member. I

Also you will find that if you reach out, you have more creditability if you are a more active member. I

As a member I pay dues less than what I would have paid property management companies.
