You will either get stuck with a horrible tenant, disorganized/incompetent/borderline fraudulent building admin, useless lawyers, or simply laws that either work against you or a system that could care less about you as an investor. 

You don't know how to identify a good renter or the market rental rate.

You're best bet is to the take the time selling the property and educate yourself on MF investing, analyzing deals, identifying what's a good one and what is bad, network with brokers, lenders, etc.

Time and experience has taught me to simply not rent to unrelated individuals.

We scheduled the home inspection a few days later, which came back clean & had listed the issues we had already identified during the initial walk-through - it was extremely helpful having a REA that also invests in real estate, manages his own properties and knows what to look for during a home inspection. 

I would simply be putting the money aside to save for the next purchase.

Identify the new properties.

@Jennifer Turner Not sure of conventional loans for 5% down or less, but I can confirm that FHA/ FHA 203K loans are not simply for first time home buyers You’re just not allowed to have more than one owner occupant loan at the same time.

:@Krishonda Johnson you should Google "executive general realty".And you should probably find another career path @Jason There's no reason for her to find another career path, she's simply seeking help.  

I found out the hard way that if you are literally within 100 miles of a property you already own, then FHA will NOT give you a loan.Here's what you can do.Wait until you get to your next duty station and then use the fha loan  orGet a loan through Navy Federal Credit Union (You do not have to be in the Navy, you simply need to be on active duty in any branch of the military or honorably discharged)....yes they will let you go zero down with no PMI and you can use it while you have a VA loan in place.
