I am finding Visalia *very* different from the Lemoore/Hanford area.I will be living alone since my husband will be deployed.

@Justin Bioc I decided on the turnkey route, due to our constant moves, deployment possibilities, and overall workload.

We both deployed a lot and that put our minds at rest regarding taxes.

I will deploy the FHA or 203k mortgage to buy a 4-unit, REFI, do it again.

Thanks for the info Account Closed, I am not in the military anymore, so deploying is not an issue.

Its not a vehicle as much as an efficient deployment of capital IF you are finding good deals.

I've spent the past 4 years overseas in a deployed environment as a defense contractor, trying to accumulate enough money to fund investments that will generate enough passive income for me to achieve my goal of financial independence by age 30.  

When an investor contacts me to deploy their money, although the investor is interviewing me I am also interviewing the prospect to ensure we are a fit. 

So to get a more pointed answer to your question I'd look at what your parameters are and then look for places where you can deploy your current capital base.  

Profit (actually, you're paying interest on that extra amount you are in debt, but you kept money in your pocket today that you can still deploy as capital tomorrow, so you only profit if your ROI on that money is greater than your interest rate).Note that maximum interested party contributions still apply.
