I understand it is now unlimited to families of military but what about using the VA loan to buy rental properties.

We screen the tenants thoroughly and address significant items quickly. 

You do not have to be military to get an account.  

Recording a deed, lease (over 3 years), an option agreement, or any other item that impacts ownership could potentially cause the loan to be called (currently rare, but possible). 

With a wife and young daughter, and a military occupation that can keep me away at times, I’ll have to postpone attempting to house hack until we move closer to the Atlanta area where we are originally from.

If you live in a HCOL area then you can start off with a house hack with an fha loan or VA loan for military guys/gals for little to no down payment options.Best of luck!

Do you happen to have any tips on calculating this two items?

Also made a correction to the calculator with the cash flow at $223Talking with a property manager of the area they said since I'm close to Fort Jackson, this has potential for military families.

I was returning from a back-to-back military deployment and had been researching budgets and properties while watching the market recession from the outside.

I have been toying with the idea of buying one and adding it as an optional item to rent.
