Moving to San Antonio. Looking to start with some live in flips.

[Ryan Rossi]

I am moving to San Antonio 31st of Jan 19. I am looking to do a couple live in flips to get me started. I am coming out of a career field in the Air Force that does general contractor things ie. roofing, framing, masonry, locksmithing, renovations, etc. I am looking at trying to get something about 30 min max drive time from Lackland AFB. I am moving my wife and two kids with me as well, so ill have to move into something at least livable. I do have a couple questions though. I was leaning towards using a VA loan. Does anyone have any referrals for loaning offices? Also, Are there any areas I want to stay OUT of?

THANKS ALL! Look forward to meeting some fellow investor in the area!

@Ryan Rossi for all the great points @Rick Pozos mentioned, I would consider trying to get a duplex with your VA loan, and live on one side of it and rent the other. Great way to get experience and get started, while taking advantage of preferential financing terms.
