For another he was a reservist never active duty.

Background: Currently Active duty (Separating soon).

When you think about active duty service members taking out VA loans and then deploying or changing duty stations, it makes sense why the VA didn't put a one-year occupancy rule into their policy.

I agree that these standards can cause rentals to seem nicer than other owner-occupied homes, however I believe that the standards aren't unreasonably high and that it's our duty as landlords to ensure that properties are kept in good condition, both in terms of safety and aesthetics, for our tenants and also the community. 

I am active duty military and house hacked a condo at my last duty station utilizing my VA loan.

im an investor and a gc. you can go either way these people recommend. if your having a problem with a guy you have managing 5 houses he probably isnt the right person as a project manager(as long as your not restricting his duties) should be able to handle 5 houses like a walk in the park if thats his scope.of course unrealistic goals, hamstringing him or micromanaging will derail that process but it sounds like you want people to report on the resolutions to the problems and report progress.if your solving the problems and hearing only about issues- that person isnt the proper person.we run about 10-12mm/year and have 4 project managers, supers under them, thats how we do it.

I'm active duty military and have done all of my properties are out-of-state or end up being that way.  

There are some areas where STR is not allowed, but STR is vital in our market.

Have you secured the doors and added cameras or put a guard dog on duty? 

I think it’s becoming apparent that cash flow is important and still vital to hit the ground running, but diversification for other types of real estate investing benefits would be a near future goal as well.
