I currently have 30K cash from the cash out refi I did on another property as well that could serve as a DP.I would love to hear thoughts on what the best course of action would be to get more cash flowing into the portfolio.

There are pros and cons and it's important to be aware of the drawbacks as well as the benefits. 

That $200/mo today might very well become $600/mo down the road, and then $1,000/mo...But back to our limbo area.

I look forward to learning more from all of you on the RE side as well. 

That doesn't relieve you of the need for all of the correct documentation notifications and information your accountant will need to fil the form 8824 at the end of the year. 

Im thinking if I create a unique listing on Airbnb (After I live in this for a year to meet the VA loan requirements) I can create a competitive advantage by having such a unique property and demand a higher price per night as well as keep the occupancy up.2.

The homes prices are way above reality as well as the taxes and most HOA's.

As well as coffee shops like Bottoms Up Coffee are moving in and small microbreweries like brew dog and Land Grant.

It's wise to stay informed, be patient, and consider diversifying your strategy.

I hope they get back to having every day investors who built a portfolio from the ground up, house by house and can talk about how they did it and the different strategies and routes they took that others can learn from and deploy as well.
