@Ian Hoover I believe that craigslist has been making a lot of changes over the past 6 months, most of which are to discourage the use of things like postlet ads and spam.Here are their rules:Lead capture, loans/financing, services, offers to buy, lists/directories, and/or driving users to a website are not allowed.please do include:all relevant information about the specific property you are sellingmultiple high-quality photographs of the specific property on offerstreet address, and location on craigslist mapplease do NOT include:cartoon or graphic images, photographs of yourself or other peoplelinks to "more information" elsewherephotos with "click below," contact info, or other writingsearch links, or information about multiple propertiesadvertisement for services of any kind, including financing or loan informationadvice about buying and/or selling and/or market conditionsSo the basically made it so that you can't have links on your posts, and your posts have to only be for one piece of property, and all the information has to be contained in the ad.

I'm an electrician by trade and a military veteran.

Hello BP community,I was hoping to ask the veterans and those more experienced than me on this subject.  

I can pay cash for my first several properties but will want to re-fi back out as quickly as possible to continue building my portfolioLearn about rehabbing; I'll be completely new to it and have a lot to learnBuild relationships with potential partners for larger dealsFind strong vendors in Indianapolis (contractors, property managers, someone to photograph properties, etc.)Make like-minded friends!

As you learn, try to implement those lessons and learn from seasoned veterans in your area.

Do some homework and look at post like this one on the Section 8 topic, where people post about some S-8 program 'variants' like VASH where even S-8 haters may see good in a program that helps veterans. 

I am also a service-disabled veteran of the U.S.

Exact cash-on-cash ROI would be dependent on how much was upfront cash vs. financed, but these are the things I can know from public data.For the veteran investors on this site:  What are your thoughts of this update? 

I am a US Army Veteran who is not afraid of hard work!

Very hard to explain what 337,683 employees do at the Department of Veterans Affairs.
