With all these jobs, I would love to earn some additional income to supplement my FT job so I can quit the PT one.

Long term I intend on using real estate as a vehicle to supplement my current income whilst obtaining true financial freedom. 

As for where to invest, I just went with the areas I knew really well- though CA is notoriously expensive to buy, the rental rates make a decent supplement to my income, especially while I stay overseas. 

I'm very motivated to figure out a path to purchase my own investment properties to enable me and my family to have a better financial future.

Doing this twice would enable me to rehab the entire building.  

I would highly recommend starting with areas you know a lIttle more about aa well, using local experts to supplement your knowledge of the area.

For an IRRRL, you need only certify that you previously occupied it.”The rules for a VA IRRRL allow what the VA calls a “no money out of pocket” transaction, “by including all costs in the new loan or by making the new loan at an interest rate high enough to enable the lender to pay the costs.”VA rules do require the interest rate on the new loan to be lower than the original rate, but there is an exception for those who wish to refinance an adjustable rate mortgage to a fixed rate mortgage.

We find ourselves making more and more phone calls these days as a supplement to direct mail and other marketing.
