Today, I have the cash savings, but I still keep my credit lines active just in case something unexpected happens (my credit lines don't cost me anything to keep open and using them to pay for an emergency is more convenient than trying to transfer cash on the spot from savings to checking).

Looking to get connected to likewise investors I am actively looking for multifamily, buy and hold properties in the Dallas/Fort Worth area as well as contacts in all aspects of real estate.

I’m looking for advice from local investors who are active in the business.

If you get new orders ( assuming you are active) there is no issue with the VA loan allowing you to lease prior to the 12 month " live there" rule.

The Portland/Vancouver area has a lot of active BP members and there are a lot of opportunities to meet people.

You can obtain credit, criminal, and eviction reports and have your prospect pay for this directly as part of your approval process.I also recommend you do your own verification of tenant rental status and history directly with the previous landlord.I am a long-time satisfied customer of SmartMove, but I receive absolutely NO compensation for this referral.

@Quinterris Brown Go to local investing clubs and stay active on various forums like this.

I continued looking at houses even though I didn't think I'd be ready to find my next property anytime soon as I had completed all the renovations on the first property myself while being full-time active duty military.

You have been given information now needed to be administered in your daily activities.

It’s so active and there are many here who are passionate, hungry, and on fire for RE.
