I currently work in the energy sector, but my ultimate goal is to become financially independent through real estate.

Hello BP community , I am new to real estate investing in the San Antonio area, I have capital to invest in and my credit score is 640 , I plan on using the  VA loan for my personal residence but I want to see other options for a rental property.

I am a local Long Island Real Estate Agent covering everything from investment opportunities, development opportunities, home selling, home buying and everything in between. 

You might want to explore Athens or Decatur, still within commuting distance to Huntsville government jobs, but real estate prices not so high. 

Or at a local real estate meet-up is another great option.3) IMO (duplex, triplex, quadplex) are best, butttt in some areas supply is limited.

Especially not down a real amount. 

Overall, this one hasn't scared me away from investing in real estate and I'm looking forward to what comes next!

In my case, I have residential rentals in one LLC, commercial properties in another, self storage in a third, and my real estate company operates in a fourth.

I got my real estate license at 19 so it's definitely a good move.

A business or some estate planning attorneys may be able to assist you.CPAs tend to be best for consulting with the tax and numerical implications as to how it can affect your bottom line, and consulting as to the structure and right type of entity for you.
