@Annie Seuer , who used be a wholesaler and quit doing it, posted on a parallel thread (https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/93/topics/1194082-5-tips-to-create-a-real-wholesaling-business-and-not-a-chop-shop) that she doesn't think wholesaling can be scaled.

You can buy an almost new or brand new single family home here in Arizona for $250-300k, combine taxes and insurance of under $2k per year, rent for $1500-1800, will break even on cash flow with 25-30% down because there is no maintenance or cap ex since it's new (you will have these eventually but rents will increase by the time that happens).

Has anyone used their VA home loan to purchase a multi-family unit and move into 1 of the units??

The reason for selling is because the home has been a money pit (major tenant damage) and a revolving door (tenants leaving).

we currently live in long island, and was thinking of upstate NY, as that would be a drive away, if we ever decide to convert the STR to our vacation home.
