I currently live in the existing house but plan to rent out the entire property down the road.I am active duty military, have good credit but limited personal funds available, and the equity in my CO home is around $140,000.My question is what is the recommended strategy to finance new construction of my planned duplex on my existing lot. 

I am active duty and invest all over the country. 

So I used Bridge Turnkey as my provider and I was referred to this company through a group called active duty passive income.

I am currently active duty Army and just moved to the Tacoma/JBLM area in December 2019.

Also start by getting credit cards (if you don't have any) and build that credit because credit is vital.

and yes, see that is actually what i was planning at first once i started getting into all of this but i honestly scared myself into thinking it was too risky to buy such an expensive property for my first one. it definitely still crosses my mind because i will be put at an advantage of finding tenants consistently with active duty members constantly needing housing in that area.

There are residency and ownership exemptions for active duty on orders via the IRS.

This way, you can see what it's like as a passive investor and you can learn about asset management and other sponsor duties from your lead sponsor. 

My name is Ira Diwata, I'm 21 year old and active duty military.

However, if you're looking to build a strong team and leverage people, having a good investor friendly Realtor on your team could free you up to focus on more of what you like doing and be all you need to help you further your wholesaling adventure without you having to get a license.My biggest thing though would be to mention that some firms/brokerages may not allow you to be a wholesaler with your license because of your fiduciary duty as a Realtor to your client.
