Then, refi out into a long term mortgage. 

However, with my 1 short term rental I am struggling to remain confident that this is the right strategy as when something does happen it seems I lose at least a couple days with them dispatching and then following up.  

Adding one for each bedroom and then other rooms will quickly drive the cost up there.

Jenny, I don't feel any discrimination, to John's point, but then I have a female realtor and a female mortgage broker who are strong, awesome women and we love working together!

So I figured that I would create a post and say what I know of the VA benefits from what I have used for getting my current home and then having others add in to it. 

If I can assume the loan, then the debt is removed from his name vs. if I make loan payments he is still tied to the debt.

My wife and I have done about 30 flips over the past few years, typically with a partner of ours that has a good amount of cash which he invests, then we split the profit.

For example, when you buy a note at a discount and then it pays off early there can be a huge increase in our yield. 

I've seen some clients in Denver throw in whatever furnishings they find on Craigslist or FB Marketplace and then wonder why their short-term rental numbers aren't great. 

I will do minor renovations over the course of that year then flip for a profit.
