My recommendation is that you actively communicate with the tenants to facilitate the move-out.

@Jonathan BeemerWhether you are on active duty or not, you can still use the VA Loan my friend

Hi BP Community, This is my first post and I am excited to have found such an active and supportive community. 

I know it'll calm down sooner or later, and am betting after my talk with them today it'll be sooner.

I've been an active real estate investor for the past 8yrs and agent with Tierra Antigua Realty.

Decide for yourself first how active or passive you want to be.

I’m not sure I would make that bet personally.

Regarding how much you can qualify for, if you have a bank you like I bet they would be happy to help you figure that out.

Reach out to everyone in the area and see if they can put you in touch with some active investors who might share their favorite contractor with you.

So essentially I formed a partnership with the private equity investor, and as long as we can prove that he has some activity in the business, he can invest as much money as he wants with me.
