In your case you can also take advantage of 0% down payment VA loans only available to military individuals.

Hi Estrella,I'm coming up on retirement from the military after 20 years very soon. 

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. 

Also, if you have been in the military VA loans offer the same thing.What would be better is to start building your credit now. 

Also, consider connecting with @Ashwin Abichandani...he has a specific military investment group here in Chicago.If you need a lender who knows VA loans connect with @Zack Karp or @Landon Hoon!

Born and raised just above the poverty level, spent 21 years in the military, bought my first house at age 30 for $87,000.

I built my first portfolio to 32 doors while serving 23 years in the military.

…as in the ONLY time you put out $20,000 to buy and fix up is if you KNOW, that you can sell or refinance ( with a cash out return) 5) in the military when referring to their weapons and their battle plans they say… “ two equals one and one equals none” this means that is the don’t have TWO WAYS to protect themselves then they aren’t really prepared to do battle.

I’m active duty military stationed in NC.

We are a military family with young kids, work full time, and move around a lot so we have been uncertain about flipping etc.
