It's great to hear about your real estate investment journey and your plans to expand in Houston.

I still have my first investment property from 2015 and plan to keep for many more years. 

Love your plan and why behind what you are wanting to do @Stacy Reese!

Personally, I think it could be a great marketing plan for sellers if they purposely advertise to VA buyers and offer to cover the funding fee. 

What is your final plan for the property (rent the units / sell)?

Company is run like a businessMarketing and sales divisionProperty owners are not involved in decisionsSystems are documented and automatedAncillary fees and additional programsHave maintenance or real estate departmentsTypically > 100 propertiesBusiness owner not heavily involved in operationsModel 3 - 20/20 Plan variationNo or very small amount up front.

Hi Chris, When considering areas for real estate investment in Chicago, it's essential to evaluate various factors like market trends, development plans, and neighborhood dynamics.

Which broker do you recommend if I plan to work with them on part-time and still keep my 9-5?

I live in Houston, TX, and I plan on starting in the short term rental hosting business.

Yes, that is the plan.
