You can decide if you want to repeat with another detached duplex to quad leveraging your increased knowledge and experience or if you want to use your VA loan and increased net worth to buy a long term family home (no house hacking).This is basically a BRRRR combined with house hacking leveraging the VA loan. 

The issue many here at BP have with this marketing ploy is that regardless of whether any deals are subsequently found, there is significant coaching/training/education fees, upfront!

Monthly fee is cheap and you get good education at first.You ned to learn a lot of stuff at first.Remax was my first choice and it sucked, sobad never again.You can change it to a smaller brokerage once you learn everything.Real Estate License is expensive.

I want to be cognizant of relying too much on leverage and do not want to get ourselves into a mess just to buy something. 

I leverage time/supplies when building multiple at the same time. 

Start doing your research and educating yourself about those markets.

then I may need better education.

The best investors are ones who spend a great deal of time educating themselves.

ABC Management may have 30 years experience, proven systems, contractor relationships, and other services you can't begin to provide.If you jump into property management with zero education and experience, there is a high probability you will fail and you will give the profession a bad name at the same time.

@Odie Ayaga I appreciate what you’ve shared and will work on digging a little more for some educational pieces.
