I've been investing in real estate since 2017 and have seen that the real money or wealth made in this field is in equity build up moreso than in cash flow.

You can target low equity homeowners which are in foreclousure and will lose theitr house to the bank because they can't make the payment.

I'm feeling most drawn to a buy and hold rental investing strategy and like the idea of the BRRRR strategy in tandem with VA loans, basically refinancing VA loan backed mortgages to conventional loans once there is 20% equity in the home.

Yes, most lenders will require you to live in a primary residence before moving out, refinancing, or converting into a rental.

I own a house that I am living in with a VA loan and want to buy a different home and move into that as my primary residence and rent out my first home.

If they are, it will be expensive and / or require SIGNIFICANT equity.

If you are doing a live-in flip why not use that equity for a down payment with a refi or HELOC?

Use your savings and equity to get the next one and keep this one.
