If you own several apartment buildings your best interest might be to speak with a asset protection attorney versus asking questions online of just anyone who might respond.Good Luck!

That is who you want.The best contractors will never, ever be on Yelp.

The fact that you have already owned and sold a rental property gives you a great experience to start from.In terms of the best place to invest - that is whatever place meets your criteria, goals and investing style.Personally flips have not been working as well for me lately, but when we get the right BRRRR deal those are still working well.

Best way is to just try to break it down piece by piece.Water- how is it being delivered to the homes. 

The best thing this community can do is encourage your son to run far away from a subject to deal.

I had found some regulations about VA guidelines and it speaks about recent separations and states that anyone who has recently seperated and doesn't have the needed 2 years job security can still be processed but underwrites will use their best judgement and will have flexibility.

I have been reading many books on finances, rentals, and real estate and feel this is an area I can have more "control" over my investment rather than placing it all in my 401k and hoping for the best. 

Best of luck!

Your best security is your neighbors , they are right there and see whats going on at your property .
