I am as green as they get in real estate investments but I truly believe it is the best way to go to create residual income and financial security for my family's future. 

I want to use the rest of my VA Loan I have already used $315,000.

You'll find more people on regular long-term rental sites than you would on anything designed for MTR, which is not even a term people are familiar with.If you are renting longer than 30 days, you should screen, collect a security deposit, use a written lease agreement, and follow the landlord-tenant laws for long-term rentals.

If you want to buy a home and live in it for a few years before renting it out, I will look at low-money down conventional/FHA options; if you cannot qualify conventionally with your DTI, I would look at DSCR loans.

He works with a few lenders that do construction loans! 

Hey Ryan,Most lenders can typically offer up to 80% Loan-to-Value (LTV) with interest rates ranging from 7-8.5%.

Security 4.

I recently applied for a commercial loan and was approved for a sizable amount.  

Found on MLS, put in an offer with loan at asking and then had increasing limit up to 12,000 over asking.

Or, trying to use the LLC to get a loan, with which to do projects?
