My name is Ernie Ortega, I am 25 years old, originally from Los Angeles but currently stationed in Northern Louisiana.

Hand your business card to everyone at the gas station next time you stop to fill up.

Once we loaded our station wagon with the tenant's belongings and drove it to their next place.

San Francisco is Beautiful I loved it there when I was stationed there.

Guy #1 needed to take a shower and pack his things and I'd give him a ride to the bus station. 

That is why it makes sense for no additional labor pay.Today was our first day, we hauled all sellers furniture/ leftovers to donations or to the local transfer station.

I've also heard quite a few stories of active duty people buying investment properties around each new duty station.

My apologies - I didn't mean to be so abrupt and short with my answer but honestly, the email you received just hit a chord with me.Imagine a gas station sending you an SMS telling you that they would no longer sell gas to you if you don't start driving more.

My dilemma is whether I use my VA loan for the multi family which will turn into an investment property after I change duty stations in two years or save that VA loan for my personal residence once I establish more permanent roots upon competition of my service. 

My course of action would be to purchase a multi family using my VA, live in one of the units until I move duty stations (about 2 years) , then keep it as an investment property.
