Using your VA loan benefit is another great way to get started in real estate investing.I’m active duty Air Force with four properties.

However, there's no AC and heat there and I have already purchased min splits air conditioners and an electrician has also laid the lines for me.

Salt air not so great for machinery.  

I've refined and updated my buy box, currently SF detached houses built since year 2000, with 3 bedrooms, 2+ baths, central air, and 2 car garages, in areas with good schools, low crime and economic growth. 

Its appearance in an office chatroom gave it an added air of legitimacy.

Also, air conditioning removes moisture/humidity from the interior airspace, and nearly every home in the Carolinas runs AC during the warm months.Crawlspaces tend to be where the majority of problems occur.

I could also use some help with finding a cleaner.

I have a rental with ceiling fans in every room, I am afraid if they start making noise, or don't produce enough air for tenants liking I will get complaints and they will ask me to replace them. 

I then added central air.

I manage all vendor payments via credit card with dedicated credit cards via Baselane for recurring vendors like landscapers, cleaners and hot tub maintenance.
