Employing the services of a property manager can help boost your business as they provide support in handling the property and could also co-host the property along you.

It all depends on what you want as your niche I guess. we have one single family and we just bought our first Duplex all in the same area and all with VA. keep growing your funds so you could buy and rehab your own deals without HML. you could also get a MFH that you could live in and get VA financing and then keep that for when you move to continue buying more MFH where ever you go. use the 30K to fund repairs as you go to boost value slightly.

However there's the psychological boost of not having a mortgage and applying the full rent to future investments.
