Any mentors on using VA loan to invest in real estate?

If you use a VA loan, the house you buy has to be your primary residence. You can't use it to purchase a property as an investment. If you want to develop properties with the VA loan you have to move in, use it as your primary residence, then pay the loan off completely to free up your VA loan. Then do it again.

It’s great that you’re looking into real estate as a way to build income! I’ve heard of service members really benefiting from the VA loan, especially if they start early and have the right guidance. When I was exploring property management myself, I found that getting the right help made a huge difference. I worked with https://www.valleymanagementgroupinc.com/, and they were really helpful in guiding me through the process. They gave me advice on managing multiple properties and how to avoid common mistakes.

Unless you buy the house to occupy and turn it into an investment property after you leave, you can't use a VA loan for it - VA loans can only be used for your primary house.

However, you can always become "a military slumlord" ... this is the term given to military folks that get assigned to a new location, buy a house, live in it, hang onto it and rent it out after they leave and repeat the process at the new duty location. Unless you have the resources to do it right now, that's probably the easiest way for you to ease into getting investment properties.

I would take that "100+ houses of the span of a military career" with a industrial size bag of salt. Is it 'possible'? Sure ... it's possible that a meteor will crash into your house as well.
