Now that would give me $100k and might be able to buy two properties.

I am also a real estate agent now who will be able to buy and list my own properties..I would like to BRRRR if it makes sense on the refi to pay off the LOC, or sell for a quick turn around.Thoughts/suggestions?

Anyone having major success with only buying SFH and renting them out to tenants to make good cash flow each month and re-investing?

I’m about to PCS to San Antonio for a year and was considering buying an investment property to live in while I’m there, then rent out after I leave.My question is this: since we’re restricted in getting fixer uppers with the VA loan (I know there are renovation loans), what are you looking for with the property?

There is a lot to learn as its very different than just buying a stock. 

Anything worth buying would be $200k+ with most rent in the area going for $1,000 per month.

However, I would not buy in the areas you mentioned too expensive.

There are a few options that some people have used when they were looking to buy a new home before selling (and ran into DTI issues). 

Buy places in nice areas because those also tend to weather downturns better. 

The tenant has been a problem from the beginning, such as behind in rent for a year, buys a brand-new Jeep, lies about ex-husbands job, child support, court cases, etc...Now, the house needs a new deck, so I went up to inspect it.
