@Victoria Dennis - we have some evening/weekend meetings planned for this year.  

In addition I am performing two open houses this weekend and I'm not getting much action today.

It's great to know that there are people in the local area who are willing to offer help and info.Is there any chance that there are upcoming weekend events?

 I've been waiting to plan a meet up but headed out this weekend on a 2wk business trip!

@Matt Pritchard My investment partner and I sat down this weekend while I was in town and we went over our plans.

I recently attended a weekend seminar entitled "Success in Real Estate".

We made about $17k in short term rentals using AirBnB and VRBO - but because it was our own vacation place first and an investment second, we didn't rent it out on the most popular weeks of the year (Xmas, school vacation, long weekends, July 4th, leaf peeper weekends in the fall, etc).

(I know the primary residence obligation states 1 year, but you must move into a VA loan house within 60 days (giving me some leeway) and I can always co-occupy the two (live in new VA owned 4-plex mostly while spending weekends or summers in both).

I'm looking to find a multi-family seller that would entertain this idea to myself and will be giving this a try this weekend hopefully.

Knowing that I spend 175+nights in hotel rooms, would I be able to charge rent to a tenant/friend and pretty much just use it as my mailing address/ have a futon and crash there on select weekends?
