Your income isn't high enough for it to make sense as a rental and the closer you get to your residence limit the greater pressure you will have to sell it before losing your exclusion in whole or part. 500k right now can make $15k per year income with zero maintenance or tenant risks. 

Quote from @Charles Perkins: Quote from @Natalie Kolodij: Quote from @Charles Perkins: I have an attached ADU unit in my personal residence as well as a business office/ business storage area in my home. 

When I return to the country after my Au Pair contract ends, I hope to live in the property as my primary residence and house-hack as well.I understand that investing remotely makes things more challenging, but I am also ready to be uncomfortable and challenge myself in this journey as I know it is 100% possible.

I am ALWAYS 100% honest with them if/when I think that particular owner can handle self-management in the investment strategy they choose.

Typically, we set up entities in the state in which the property resides.

Best advice to you would be to use that VA loan as many times as you can and buy primary residences for a year, rent them out and then buy something else with the VA!

I've been considering joining lately as well and would love to hear some honest feedback on it

@Leeling ChewAbsolutely, you should background check every adult (18 or older) who will reside in the property.
