What options do I have for buying a property?

[David Marron]

Hello everyone,

I want to get started in REI, but my debt to income is too high. I have excellent credit and access to my VA loan, so I don't have to put any money down. Does anyone have advice on what I can do to get started?

David I'am in the same boat as you, Im also a veteren and have looked into a VA loan myself. If you qualify its a great way to start out in REI. The thing is with a VA loan is that you have to live in the dwelling you purchase for atleast two years. What other investors on here have suggested to me is to buy a duplex and rent out one side. Your tenants will cover your mortgage and you should still be able to clear a profit.
