Thank you for all the advice and support, all of you.
I have lived in the VA purchased home, it is where we want to end up after my service is up. @KIMARD EGLETON I will definitely look into the refinancing out, that is not a bad idea Ha. Thank you again.
@Elizabeth Colegrove I would love to hear more, I will send you a PM.

Thank you for all the advice and support, all of you.
I have lived in the VA purchased home, it is where we want to end up after my service is up. @KIMARD EGLETON I will definetly look into the refinancing out, that is not a bad idea.
@JerryW. what do you mean owner financed? Would it be better to go all in wheen I get out in a year? I would like to get started as soon as possible on the right track to reach my goals.
So I recently purchased a "home" in Illinois, for me and my family with the VA loan, and I am renting it out until I finish my service which is 1 1/2 years in Salt Lake City, UT. By the end of the year I would like to have either my first flip, or my second buy and hold property under my belt. I have to advise, i do not have funds to support this but I will continue to gather and try anything within reason as necessary. I am just starting out I might add, but I am looking for any advice that would help me. any suggestions?
Thank You BP
