@Nik Moushon Thanks for the input.Building to a LEED standard, or Living Building Challenge, is something I try to do as much as I can in my non-development projects.

I'd recommend doing a google search for second tier VA loan, or something to that affect, and read as much as you can. In

My whole family does buy and hold investing and I am interested in learning as much as I can in the field! 

In my area there is no way you are going to buy a house with a warranty deed in two weeks like you can in other parts  of the country.  

It sounds like you  are making some good decisions already, read and listen to all you can and reach out and talk to as many as you can in person too.

They make 10k to 15k a month for 3 months and spend like fat cats.

If you get an obese person living in the unit, you will need to be good at repairing floors because the floors in them are pressed  sawdust and a fat person will pretty much fall through wherever they step.      

Since I have been playing for a while and the industry is getting smaller due to regulations which reduces the traffic and the number of recreational players (which makes the game less profitable) I think is the moment to start transitioning to Real Estate.I am literally devorating everything in BP, just bought the 2 books of Brandon Turner (hey Brundon if you read this just let you know that I love the way you explain and the methods of teaching you follow, I really find them effective for newbies like me) so I will be trying to educate myself in RE as much as I can in order to be succesful in the future.If there is someone out there who is also starting in RE, in spanish market and want to connect me to talk about whatever or just for future networking, dont hesitate to do it!

I'm primarily looking to get started with wholesaling to build up some capital for future investments so right now I'm looking to learn as much as I can in that niche. 

But it makes sense to me to live for a little bit of nothing in a property that's building equity, paying off the mortgage and that you can in a year or two pull out some equity to purchase the next piece of property to do all over again.
