@Michael HerrenLooking to connect with persons in/near Savannah.

To my understanding the VA only cares that the initial person that purchased the property had the intent to live there and make the home their primary.

The best way to hedge your bets in the right direction and also protect your personal space is to look for uneven multis.What am I talking about?

How do I go about asking the tenant to move out so I can use the unit for personal use? 

Personal excel sheet?

There are areas I wouldn't personally invest that I can speak to, but there are just so many opportunities.

As that will at least help folks that you reach out to know that you are a real person, with a picture and professional bio.

No signing expensive leases that you personally guarantee typically. 

Hi Christopher, I'm a realtor in the area and I thought I'd run some numbers for you just to get a better picture of the risk/reward of a LTR vs STR.Currently netting $250 a month on the LTRIf you rented it as a STR on a nightly basis for $135 with an expected estimated vacancy of 56% (average for the area) that's a gross income of $21,681 less your mortgage $17,400 and less expenses such as water electric and internet of an estimated $4200 puts your annual net at $81.To make the STR profitable for the additional work you'd have to rent it for more than $135 a night and for more nights than the Nashville average of 44% occupancy.
