The no down payment feature of the VA loan makes it easier to manage your money and makes homes more in reach, but it might mean you pay more each month and more in interest over time.Good luck!

So I'm trying to weigh selling my rental vs keeping and renting out through a management company. 

 Looking for some insight on a few things before starting construction on my first rental property!

You learn a ton about how to become a landlord, manage your own property, managing rehabs, etc. plus there's so little risk because you're living there yourself.

They likely also have contacts in the area that could help oversee, maintain, and manage the property. 

Where can I find a broker that can source out a construction loan for a spec home?

My responsibilities are to manage the FB ad campaigns.

This Duplex was built in the 80s and has good bones but the HVAC systems will need to be replaced soon and there has been no major updates that have been done but this is one of the reasons why i bought it. i wanted to get the experience of being a landlord and renovating  and managing multiple properties. but i have a few questions pertaining to the duplex house hack.

My view is that I can get a higher return by parking that cash in real estate as opposed to having some fund manager get me marginal returns on my savings.Appreciate any thoughts or comments.
