They only thing I have used them for is to call and have them put me on their wholesale list as it saves me time trying to find deals.Have you considered a VA doing the calling to see if you can get a lead that way? 

I was wondering if there was anyone who has a good general understanding of what kind of value does adding certain features to properties in the Richmond market, and VA in general (though I know a lot of this varies wildly). 

Get qualified for VA, move to Texas for a year and then join (tremendous benefits for you and your future kids), use your BAH (base allowance for Housing) to do the strategies in 7 above. 

I am a LTR investor but plan to by my first STR in Virginia and will certainly install EVSE immediately.

I used my VA loan and lived in a house with roommates to cover bills, the mortgage, and I even got some cashflow while living there.

I would like to continue buying property, and through some refinancing strategies I will be able to re-use my VA loan, however any single family I analyze doesn't pencil out, and the one multifamily that would work for my family and I feels like a big risk, which is where my dilemma comes into play.The property I'm looking at is a triplex with units that more closely resemble townhouses than apartments.

Also, using the VA loan to it's maximum benefits is a big advantage to being a veteran.

Virginia-based credit unions?

Hi Everyone,I set the location for Richmond since that's the closest to where I am, but specifically, I'm looking at counties in Northern Virginia (Fairfax, Loudon, and Prince William). 

As with most stories, theses events are completely true with very little exaggeration.Growing up, we lived in cheap rentals like this one 28066 Main St, Hallwood, VA 23359 and 28066 Main St, Hallwood, VA 23359.
