I didn't predict the latest **** coin or invent some crazy business; I just house hacked a few properties and increased my income slightly by leaving the military for a better paying government job.

If you're close to a military base, try Facebook groups with a focus around those individuals.

The greatest advantage for the seller with me being a fellow military member is I can free up her entitlement .

The extra info in regards to me is that I get an extra 4k a month due to my prior service in the military.

Just call him, all that you want to know in the questions above he can answer for you.He is incredibly nice, but nonsense, he is ex military (navy if I remember correctly).He is not a hard sell kind of guy, in his estimation you either want to invest or you don't so he is not going to chase or pester you.  

National banks, credit unions, mortgage lenders and the like.

@Quynh TranI would look for community banks and credit unions in the market where you're investing.

Have you looked into using a local credit union for financing?

Local credit unions would be a good place to start. 

The one's I've been able to find either own/operate and aren't open to a partnership.I'm interested in doing this is Oklahoma (where I already have rental properties) and I'm also interested in doing this in San Diego with our primary residence once we move in a few years (we're a military family).
