@Chris Karley - thanks for the input - I'll check with the city records. 

@Jeffrey Coleman I would also speak to @Chris Winterhalter about apts vs. hotel investing.

Chris, I am flexible in the solution I can provide.

This leaves you with more turnkey rentals at retail price ... if that is what you want to buy anyhow, then no problem, but if you are looking at getting a distressed property for under market value with a VA loan, that could be a problem, unless you have an evil genius mortgage broker like Chris M. that could figure out how to make the darn thing close escrow :)

Listened to the Ramsey and Chris Hogan podcasts and some others...and decided to get rid of the small balances first versus tackling the big interest rate balances...Getting rid of the small debts and then compounding up to the bigger ones was the motivating kicker to keep me on track and got me to soon reach debt free status. 

@Thomas Sutton Yes, I am definitely keeping an eye out for duplexes and might have to comprimise by obtaining a duplex rather than a triplex or quad. 

@Chris Heeren this is right up your alley@Diane G.
