With VA loans, you’ve got a huge advantage to get started with little to no money down, and military bases are perfect for long-term or short-term rentals.

I’m sure this will get their attention.I had to do this same thing with a client that had not heard from the short term PM in months

Andrew did call me, there was a second distribution I didn't know about and a 3rd supposed to be coming shortly. 

It's great for managing at the property/unit level, but unfortunately, falls short on managing finances big picture once you add more property.

The challenge is that non-government jobs are often short-lived.

Been licensed for nearly a decade, I got into wholesaling shortly after because I was tired of losing deals and investors to wholesalers—I couldn’t beat them, so I joined them.

Short term rentals in St Pete are technically illegal but it doesn’t stop hundreds of other investors from doing it.

I would generally rent to them even if they are a little bit short on rent to income. 

A 4-plex would be ideal and you could play around with doing 1 long-term, 1 mid-term, and 1 short-term, plus you, if it works on your area to upgrade your income.

My specialty as an example is working with investors looking to build portfolios of Short Term Rental/ luxury vacation properties all across the US.  90% of my clients use the 10% down second home occupancy loan.
