@Gil CanfuBased on my experience working with over 400 investors, investing in a single-family home in Dallas with a $300K budget is a smart move due to the area's strong rental demand and appreciation potential.

What can be done or does anyone have any experience using a VA loan after separating recently?

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

Just to clarify, when I say timeline dates I don't mean just "project to be completed by (Date)"That's required by FHA/Lender, but in my 20 years of construction experience not nearly what you need haha. 

We were wondering if it would be best for him to get the degree or to drop out and focus on making money and getting experience in real estate instead (or try and do both)?
