I encourage you to consider 2-4 unit properties in the surrounding areas to get the biggest bang for your VA loan. 

I have a friendly conversation with applicants in which I encourage them to come clean about anything because we will check and it will be a waste of their time and application fee.

@Brad Jacobson , thank you so much for the words of encouragement.

If the laws become pro-regulated and does not affect 2 to 4 Family buildings, I win because my buildings will appreciation tremendously.If the laws become pro-regulated and DOES affect 2 to 4 Family buildings, I lose a bit of Value in my Property Portfolio but I win because I expand my Property Management Business tremendously.If the current laws do not change OR if it becomes more Landlord friendly, then I expand my current Portfolio.I like to encourage Investors to think of their Investments as more of an Investment VEHICLE.When you drive your Vehicle, if you stare at the Rare View Mirror (meaning past data) too long, you will crash your Vehicle.If you stare out the side view (the current data such as today's cash flow) too long, you will crash your Investment Vehicle.HOWEVER, if you look through the front windshield almost ALL the time, you will be able to see the signs that the BRIDGE IS OUT before you drive into the River.

As a matter of fact it was his telling me how they perform their maintenance and their sub leasing process that encouraged me to pull the trigger.

In my opinion, the government is taking away private property rights and then encouraging citizens to tattle on each other, which sounds very Communist.But the point of this point post is to warn Landlords to know and follow the law, whether or not you agree with it.

@Louis Dobrik Yes 300 units in 10 years is doable and I would encourage you to set a higher number.Hope this thread is helpful to you on your journey. 

The reason I'm bringing this up is because I want to encourage others to do the same because although the show got better as a show, the content is very rich.Rauni Rueda signing off 😉

It might sound like something you are willing to do now but I would encourage you to think if moving every few years is something you will still want to do when you are in your 40s.
