I have no experience in REI, however I have ammassed considerable savings, enough to make an investment in a plex rental property on the island of Montreal, Quebec.I do not yet think I am at the stage of "Analysis Paralysis", as I have only begun reading and studying the topic of Real Estate Investment for less than a month.

I've been reading some books on this topic, but I am having trouble making the next step.

If the topic completely stops here, use 12 months as your hard and fast rule, as I have used this in multiple states and never heard of anything over 12 months.To go a bit further, let's say you wanted to use the VA loan again and again (my strategy).

There are a lot of threads on this topic on various other forums.
