hard to count CA out .. 

Nope, on a couple of counts:1031’s are only for the sale and purchase of properties held for investmentA personal residence can’t be either propertyProceeds from a sale have to be used to Buy a property, not pay down debt

Rent it out after you move because 75% of the gross rent will count as you income.When you get to your next duty station you can use the VA loan again.Keep repeating the process

@David Serna this is great outlook. 12-18 month forecast looks good.Not sure if this is true, but should spark your interest, but I was told freelance jobs do not count in these numbers?

For example, I have a policy in place that says no more than two persons per bedroom not counting infants under the age of 2.

I suspect my attorney would say counter sue for lost income from breech of contract (email counts same as verbal contract).  

Also make sure to keep a reserve for each property to cover vacancies.The people that lost in the downtown were over leveraged and counting on appreciation and rent increases.

My mortgage broker said that if both loans closed on the same day, the debt from one would not be counted in the expense-to-income ratio of the other.

COUNT ME IN THAT GROUP.
