I went to the 3 day Rich Dad Poor Dad event in March of 2015.

This outlook is reflected in the prices resulting in poor initial cash flow but historically great long term cash flow. 

@Chris Kay beleive you can do DSR loans without a job as they qualify the property, not the borrower.You'd still need 20-25% down though.That's where you have a decision:- Pay down the mortgage, setting yourself up for a future refinance to free up your VA Entitlement.OR- Save up for your next acquisition.Only YOU can make that decision as you have to be comfortable with the increasing debt-load risk and the additional time to manage everything.

For every good matching comp at a high price theres 16 poor priced matching comps that the appraisers only focus on.

This was my first property, and while it's been a great learning experience, I made several mistakes along the way—ranging from choosing a realtor who was more focused on closing the deal than finding the right house, to having a poor inspection and overlooking issues hidden beneath the surface (literally).

Hope to make my decision soon. 

Well worth the money, plus you will have already factored that expense in to your cash-on-cash requirements to justify a purchase decision)4. 

Best of luck with your decision!

We’d appreciate any advice, insights, or resources you can share to help us make informed decisions and avoid rookie mistakes.Closing:P.S.

It’s true that while the 10% down payment for a second home sounds appealing, the fact that rate adjustments are now similar makes the distinction less about cost and more about strategy.A few years ago, I helped a couple in San Diego navigate this exact decision.
