Once you have used your VA loan to house hack and still want to buy more rental properties, you could utilize a 10% down, no MI on a portfolio loan OOS in the mid to high 3s for a 1-4 unit property to get the ball rolling after your first house hack.

Commercial insurance will cost you more and my guess is that you are paying utilities. 

Is there anyone who has been heavily involved in this type of investing or has the strategic process in place to utilize this method of investing? 

I thought about an LLC but as these properties are my first time utilizing mortgages I felt the rates are just too good right now to not use personal loans.

I'm utilizing hotpads (via Zillow so I can run a background check).

I plan to utilize an FHA loan, the BRRR strategy, multi family properties to build my wealth. 

I thought it would be appropriate to post in the rehabbing thread as that has been my main specialty for all these years, although I have utilized many other investment strategies and will continue to do so.So with that, if you have any specific questions on rehabbing, sourcing deals, numbers on deals, how to get over a hump, or whatever rehabbing question, do ask, hopefully I can answer it for you here.Happy investing to all!

STRs come with added expenses that LTRs do not such as all of your utilities, platform fees, etc. 

In this case, you leverage the property you are in so you still have money left over.The other option is utilize the cash to do the BRRRR strategy in order create more cash flow and have the mortgages covered so it doesn't effect your debt to income ratio for when you get your personal residence.That's the joys of real estate, you have options.

Since you didn't mention it, I'd also recommend you do a criminal background check with a signed (real or digitally) application that gives you permission to do so.
