Admittedly, I put a bit too much emphasis on the lowest possible interest rate, which the VA loan seemed to offer at the time.Cheers and have a great day!

You may wish to confirm that the new 401k provider has experience with the particular investments in which you intend to invest your retirement funds as you very likely will have questions in terms of the mechanics (e.g. how do you invest in real estate, etc.).3.

SFRs will appreciate or depreciate with the market (which has been quite hot for several years), with less emphasis on how much you rent a particular unit for.

@Brady Wise  Just my two cents, but if you are really interested in real estate, I would get a degree in Finance or Real estate or Accounting or even possibly engineer.I cant tell you how often knowing the mechanics of electrical circuits or even statics from my engineering degree, or how understanding Present value, or cost of capital etc from my MBA has helped me to quickly understand what mortgage brokers, or contractors or real estate agents have helped me when trying to understand a necessary repair, or obscure part of getting a deal done.Yeah, it might not be explicitly necessary, but having a degree will help you.  

We are upgrading some of the mechanical systems and very close to opening but I'm not sure the best way to manage the day-to-day from this distance.
