The woman is generally more responsible, more consistent income (I know that most of the rest often comes from her), ambitious and does most of what it takes to keep the place looking nice. 

The mortgage will be a non-recourse loan, which means that your personal assets are not at risk if the borrower defaults on the loan.The overall BRRRR strategy involves buying a property with SDIRA funds, using a PML or HML for rehab, renting it out for income, refinancing to retrieve the initial investment and equity, and then repeating the process with the acquired equity.

I think it is safe to say everyplace in the country has a shortage of decent low income housing in the private sector. 

My CPA had a letter in my tax prep documents that says that those with W-2 income can't deduct business mileage anymore.This is the first I had heard of this.

It kills me to lose money after so many years of effort but I could at least have a down payment for perhaps two income producing rental homes that might actually appreciate one day (in a totally different state that is!).

Background:Legal 3 Family home with long term tenants and  has other streams of income attached to the property off the books, so it cash flows very nicely.

my monthly income barely breaks even with taxes mortgage etc..any advice is appreciated. thanks

It really should only take about 10 years to replace your W2 income.

Income looks a little light to be able to cover mortgage payments, assuming you're maxing out leverage on the VA loan. 

We wanted to get one maybe two properties and sit on them until after college where we will have stable incomes and be looking to buy 1-2 properties a year.
