Hey BP members!I have a primary residence that I financed using a VA loan a few years ago. I'm want to start investing in rental property but don't quite know what to do with my house. I can't rent it while financed (...

If I were in your shoes, my advice is to start on a turnkey, get your feet wet, turnkeys will require maintenance and rehab as long as you continue to own them too.

Rents in the area caught my eye, so I moved out and got my feet wet as a landlord.

I also don't give money to women street beggars with babies that may or may not have been given alcohol or heroin to shut up and sleep quietly for hours in the cold and the wet on their laps.

STRs were such a gold rush when they first started, but government red tape and bureaucracy could be putting a wet cloth on it.Does anyone here have experience fighting local governments on the constitutional right to use your property as an STR?

Within a year, I'm guessing it'll be down at least 1/3, if not more.This is especially problematic for a new MLO, since refinances traditionally where were you got your feet wet and learned basic operational competence.

I have a truck bed tool box, and aside from having a tool bag (separate) that has most any hand tool you could need, the box has spare fuses, a plumbing snake, rubber boots for a wet basement, a drill & saw, a little bit of wire, etc.

Had to get my feet wet How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Which will cash flow $300 once I move out ( DId and FHA just to get into my first property and get my feet wet).

Sounds like you've done the education, good luck on getting your feet wet!
