I'm currently reading David Greene's "BRRRR" book and I will be utilizing my VA Loan as a first home purchase (duplex) for my first home utilizing the VA Loan.

Small improvements or updates can justify slightly higher rents too.

In many cases bigger banks or lenders have specific programs that cater to first time home buyers and investors. 

Hey Todd, that’s a real juggling act you’ve got.. balancing one home in Florida with another new purchase in Oregon.

Quote from @Ankit Lodha: I have a home under our names.

I have lumber liquidators, home Depot, Lowe's, and who knows what else near me (central CT).

Unless the land is super valuable, probably not collateral for the mobile homes. 

My story, with 1/1000th his wealth (or less.) builds on Jay’s idea of zero debt (I only have a dozen homes worth mid to high 7 figures, but I owe zero.), along with his idea of where you come from and your life experience determines what you need to feel like you couldn’t spend all your money without wasting it.

(Starbucks / yoga studio / craft brewery /boutique cookie,coffe or ice cream shop  are the easiest targets)-Activation of dormant retail sites-Increased foot traffic For B to AAbove also apply-Home valuations (are homes in the increasing at rates above nearby or similar neighborhoods)-Is it walkable or are projects in place to make it highly walkable for residents-Is it near highly desirable activity centers -is it unique (for example - Can it get historic designation)

So as long as I paid no issues.. and most of those I sold on wraps. when i started buying homes via sub to I did over 100 of them..
