I own one on an agreement for sale/executory contract, but that was to help a veteran family that was active military where the deal made sense and everyone had good credit worthiness. 

The goal is to create small villages for retired seniors on a tight budget and veterans struggling to pay rent.

Once you do that then in any area 3 things will determine if you will have better revenue and better results than your competition. 1-design 2-Photographs 3-listing optimization.I just had a client purchase in seattle a few months back and the listing we created is the best one in the area and is on pace to do better revenue wise than the others because we did those three things and made the listing stand out. 

I am a veteran and have used the VA Guarantee many times.

I am also a fellow veteran and developer looking to utilize the VA loan to purchase my first multi-family.You mentioned you put 8% down on your first purchase, was that required or was there another reason for that?

I own a marketing company and a  Non-profit organization for assisting homeless veterans. 

Run-of-the-mill homes aren't going to do as well, but if you're bringing the amenities, buying a home with some style, furnishing well, photographing it with a professional and writing a slick listing, then your vacation rental should hit 55% out of the game and be aiming for 70% by year two or three.

Is there any veteran only REI groups?

I am trying to fill a gap between today and when my obsession can start :)Oh, and did I mention I'm a veteran with PTSD (resulting in hyper brain activity) that has leds to sleep disorders, and I already had OCD to top it off?

Okinawa is a home to some veterans who love the weather and unique culter.
