I’m looking to buy a third property to live in so that i can ret the other two and I was wondering if I could switch my two conventional loans into an LLC which would be rental properties?

I live in VA and the property is in DC.

Aim to create a place where you would feel comfortable living.#6 Create a mission statement that works for you.

About 6 months ago I purchased a foreclosure in one of the nicest neighborhoods in the city I live in.

I will be living in this property for at least a year to house hack, and to get acclimated with being a real estate investor, as well as being an investor.

Then folks who are hanging out in the kitchen or living room on the main floor would have the choice of using either the upstairs shared bath or the downstairs shared bath.Are you certain there's no way to create a half-bath on the main floor?

We'd be willing to house-hack to get a deal, but we have two not so well-behaved dogs, so I can't imagine living in a home where their barking would disrupt others.

She is with Long & Foster and they used to be held just a couple minutes from where I live. 

I get great tax write offs, I live off the cash flow and I invest because I love the process and the challenges of finding great off market properties.Your mileage may vary.

Personally, I think the best thing you can do with a VA loan is to buy a 4 plex because if you play your numbers right (rental income vs. mortgage) you should be able to live rent-free at the very least and potentially cash flow right out of the gate.
