I am currently a Student Veteran in Minnesota saving my pennies hoping to invest in a multi-family in St.

US Veteran looking to go the  buy and hold route.

Are there programs that offer business loans to veterans that can be used toward buying investment property? 

I have a photographer scheduled to be in there next week so I can get the photos done prior to closing.  

I want any Active-Duty, Reservist, or Veteran to know that with a plan anything can be accomplished! 

The last VA loan I funded the underwriter wanted proof the veteran had some sort of landlord experience prior (not a full 2 years) and they wanted to see 3 months of cash reserves but this was a fourplex in the Jefferson Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA - mid 2017- when calculating your DTI are you using what you feel you're getting in terms of cashflow on your two properties or have you sat down with a lender and did a cash flow analysis using what the guidelines will allow you to count towards your DTI?

Jared, welcome to BP. this place is a treasure trove of info for the new investor and veteran investor alike.

Once they have developed & processed the Loan Qualification Package, they send the package to the Texas Veterans Land Board, asking for approval & Funding of the Loan.

Unless there's an actual provision in your specific loan agreement that prevents you from renting it out for 1 year, it's not an actual requirement, just "gouge," to use the military jargon, that people like to throw around as a rule of thumb.The point of the VA Loan is to provide service members and veterans the opportunity to purchase a primary residence. 

At closing we didn't close after the discovery and the opinion of the inspector. 2 days later they sent a termite inspectors to get under the home and photograph the floor joists etc. the inspector again said it was faulty and would potentially cause issues in the future.
