I still have my VA loan and i want to use it in the next few months. Because i have to stay in the property while i have the va loan would it be more beneficial to just get a duplex or a triplex? I feel like a duplex will be perfect but i don’t know if i can run my business out a va backed loan. Anyone with va loan experience pls help me out

@Thomas S., I was planning on taking some of the equity out to update the duplex. So I totally understand where u coming from. 

@Dan Beaulieu, my whole idea is to be able to update the property and get as much back in write offs and whatever loopholes are allowed so I can pay less for remodels.

@daniel, I do appreciate the info! So would it be beneficial to get my license? Also if I get a duplex and run my business out of it would that also be beneficial to my bottom line?

Hello all! My name is Jamaar and I currently have one rental property here in anchorage Alaska. I’m currently paying off some debt so I can buy a duplex soon, and I had a few question if anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it! Ok, so my plan is to buy the duplex start my own property management company and put the duplex and the current rental under the property management company. My thinking for doing this is to write off my portion of the mortage because I’m running a business out of it, and also be able to write off any updates I do, I don’t know if anyone has any experience in this area if you do please message me. Also, I’m a vet, so I have the va loan to utilize and I wanted to know should I access my equity in my current rental to do updates to the duplex or should I just leave it alone and not mess with it. Like I said previously I would love to hear all the feed back you guys and gals have!
