It was all good and my house was showing up top in the list.Today on the same street two more houses came up for rental now.

We plan to buy a second house as well.

When we moved, we turned it into a rental, hoping this would be the start of our real estate journey—something we’d like to continue once my husband retires.Some key details:My husband is active duty and will retire in 3 years.We have one final move coming up this summer to Raleigh, NC.Our current debts are crippling us—the high interest makes it tough to stay afloat every month.The plan me and my husband are thinking bout:Sell the rental property.Use the proceeds to pay off all our debts, set aside emergency funds and a down payment for our next home.Free up $1,500/month from debt payments, and that also can stash in a high-yield savings account.Regain full VA loan entitlement, allowing us to purchase a multifamily home and use the house hacking strategy for up coming move.Avoid capital gains tax, since April marks five years of ownership, and the tenant’s lease ends in May.This wasn’t our original plan, and we hate the idea of using our equity to pay off debt.

I'm a 2x house hacker in LA and a case study in the Bigger Pockets Book, "The House Hacking Strategy."

Carlos, I am from Spokane and I house hacked the first 4 years I lived here.  

@Logan Lambert we used a conventional loan for our first house. 

Great opportunities to buy single family house and rent out the bedrooms.  

Now that demo is done and the site is cleared, it’s time to make sure this house is rock solid.

Keyshawn, great move using your VA loan to house hack.
