In the interest of time I limited my search to Montgomery County MD and Loudoun County VA homes that were sold in 2017 and sold again in 2022.Methodology: I pulled all the homes that fell into the scope defined above from Bright MLS.

We've all heard of FHA and VA loans but I'm not well versed in the different types of loan programs that may be offered in California or other states.

I mostly operate in VA and NC holding long term rentals.

Are there any weekly/monthly real estate investment clubs in the DMV (DC/Maryland/VA) area that anyone could recommend?

VA loans are incredible.

I'm looking to use my VA Loan for the first time to purchase my first property.

From the Amentites, VA's, and MTR's !

It ties into your great grandfather’s troubles during the 1932 depression; your grand parents ability to purchase a home in 1953 for $100 down with a VA loan, and your own psychological well being at having to have a percentage of your income going to pay debt each month.However, unless debt is so debilitating to you that it keeps you up at night and inhibits your ability to make rational decisions, the decision to pay off debt early is merely a function of numbers.  

I ended up going under contract for a VA loan assumption where the seller doesn't need me to substitute my VA entitlement with his own.

So questions for you all: Do you have experince with a VA?
