I was told i cannot use my VA for these properties cause its not military related properties if anyone can clear up what that means? 

My aha moment came last February, three years after turning my first primary residence into a rental property and after three years of doing nothing else real estate related.

Funds received from sellers, nonprofit or other organizations, including state and local government agencies, for down payment assistance grants cannot be used to reduce the required contribution.Funds paid for costs outside of closing, such as hazard insurance, taxes, application fees, and other items related to the purchase, are considered part of the homebuyer’s required contribution.

Hi all,I am a relative newbie. 

I didn't know how to respond and was torn between going for the highest paying W2 possible for easier financing of deals, and between going with some real estate related career (mortgage lender, RE agent, working for property management company, etc).

(Unlike those great projects like the Big Dig in Boston, which had permits out the ears, and was inspected a million times, and still turned out to be crap work.)I think of Georgia as a relatively free state, but then I think that about Arizona, too and found out recently that you need a license there to be a painter.

I’m not sure about market specific things BUT I know wholesaling IS marketing and human relations.

These are relatively low cost but can be high risk and cash only purchases. 

and to understand how they fit together in your toolbox, as none will give you everything (e.g, insurance is required and it will cover you for many situations, but not always; asset protection (LLC) is litigation insurance and complements regular insurance, by minimizing the target and making it unappealing).If you are a new investor, probably you will not have a lot of assets and/or equity to worry about (but even that is relative and subjective to each person tolerance to risk) so I would not worry about that till you pass that risk threshold (in my opinion 100K+ in equity, maybe 50K if you are really risk adverse) and you should be primarily concerned with finding good deals and growing your business first.

I saw that podcast but kinda overlooked it because I wasn’t sure it would relate to me.
