Wow a lot of projects on the go, I'm not afraid of hard work as it usually offers much better returns, only exception being Amazon as I probably would've made more just investing in the stock in 2013 compared to selling on the platform! 

While I'm not currently looking to settle down, I enjoy traveling to #1 enjoy other cities, #2 scope real estate, #3 enjoy said cities with intelligent female company on short notice without the typical dating hoops to jump through just to be able to have true quality time with a great lady.

Long story short, after a few backs and forth, and a long delay from the seller's agent (due to health issues), we finally got the contract signed.

Usually older stock homes that need a lot of work.

My short term goals right now is to purchase 2-3 more multifamily properties in the Woonsocket area (I am also looking in the Cumberland, Pawtucket, Providence areas) by the end of 2019.

I'm sure they have a policy on short term rentals.If you mean "legally" based on the terms of your loan (i.e. one for a primary residence), I would imagine that would be fine as long as you are living there.

The only reason I bothered was because I knew it was a high appreciation market, and I knew it would be short term. edit - I actually realized this post seemed familiar, I already answered your other identical thread. apologies

For short term or long term? 

It borders my property on two sides, and virtually anything short of it staying the way it is (wooded) is going to severely derail my quality of life - and I'd rather not have to move. 

Aside from the fact that the VA may not fund given your short term assignment there are significant penalties for what you *might* be doing.
