The biggest benefit of this arrangement was actually keeping track of the hours.

The VA loan is a great benefit and if used effectively can get your RE investing off to a very good start.Suggestions:Use the VA loan to house hack a duplex to quad.Refer to yourself as the Property Manager and not the owner.Live in the unit that can best benefit from a rehab. 

Thanks for the benefit of your experience. 

You’ll get all the tax benefits whether it’s an LLC or your name.

Looks like it might take a bit over 2 years to breakeven (ballpark, maybe longer) on the loan/closing costs of a refi to benefit from the lower monthly expense.

Another congrats Account Closed that you should find a way to share your story with young people who could benefit from a positive role model.

But do they offer a benefit to accessing equity to be used to buy other properties?  

he is getting close to 2k a month, what are the benefits for him?

@Tom HoranTypically you want to trigger some sort of sale, I have never done a deal with a owner yet but I know you might lose the benefit of starting the depreciation clock over.
