Venturing into wholesaling here in the area. 

I realize that off the bat, it is active income, but the idea is to get the rental properties under a property management company, etc.It’s a joint venture with a partner I know, so while my job is one where I travel often, hers is one where she has more availability.

I am in the South Texas Area and notice that there is property that could potentially be beneficial for reaching some of my goals with this venture.

And, Airbnb ventures survived just fine as they readjusted their marketing to "be in the middle of the action." 

There are a lot of investors on the forums who go overboard and create expensive/elaborate plans for a very small portfolio, while on the flip side (pun intended) there are major investors who still own everything in their own name and one bad lawsuit could sink them.You can go the DIY route for an LLC and all you will need to really worry about is the annual filing fees and requirements that the state you operate in demands, then keeping up with operating it properly.

Right now, I am looking to make a two pronged venture: 1) being to start a joint venture into Savannah, GA on a rental property, most likely a BRRR style investment, and 2) use a VA loan to purchase a multi-family and house-hack at the next duty station I am assigned, hopefully to then rent that to someone transferring in behind me when we leave.

I'm an investor and new member on BP who's venturing into wholesaling.

I'd wholly support house hacking as your first venture. 

Id throw 70% in a heavily weighted bond index fund, 15% in an index fund that follows s&p 500, and the other 15% in REITs or your own property ventures.
