@Ryan Keenan You can only buy one property using your VA loan benefit.

I'm kicking off a Triplex Renovation in Midcity as a buy and hold next week. 

If it's buy and hold make the landscaping low to zero maintenance to save on costs or having your tenants be responsible. 

Its your money but I would drive the areas to get a feel for whats around what you are buying . 

In most cases your better off buying with "All Cash" and then you can use a "Delayed financing" program to get up to 80% cash back LTC loan to cost.

I’m now buying a fourth property under a newly formed LLC.Should I place the first three properties that I bought in this new LLC?

You would of course not deplete all of your cash reserves on the down payment in order to service the monthly debt payment and carrying costs, but this should give you an idea of what you can accomplish now if the time is right.Many hard money products offer 100% funding for rehab costs so you would not need to save for this portion of the BRRRR project.

I recommend Sullivan County New York . for that price , you can buy an apartment building with a dozen doors or seven single-family homes

In a fast moving market, where multiple offers are presented there is no time for getting verbal buy in. but if a property has been sitting, to me, there’s no reason not to make sure that you are in the same universe before submitting a formal offer. 

Only buy stuff, even for your room, that you plan on leaving behind when you buy your next home.
