Deciding on best route for investing

Walter Skinner

Good Morning everyone my name is Walter, Im new to the world of real estate investing. I have one property under my belt and in processing of finding a renter in California. I have currently moved to Virginia. I would like to get another property. The safest and easiest way I see is to use my VA loan to occupy a property for at least a year, fix up and put on the market. My issue is that I want stability for my family and my daughters school is only 2 min away and don't want to keep moving. I was thinking about going the HELOC route to use towards an investment property for the down payment. Just looking for any advice on the situation. Thank you for listening!

When there are kids involved it reduces options. If you don't want to move your family it sounds like that is your answer.
