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.

I have a friend who used his VA loan to invest in property. He found it to be a pretty smart way to get into the real estate market, given the favorable terms of VA loans. From what he shared, the key was doing thorough research and choosing properties wisely.

He started small and gradually expanded his portfolio, focusing on areas with potential for growth. It wasn't an overnight success, but over time, he managed to build a decent source of passive income through his investments.

If you're considering real estate investment, looking into properties like https://www.thewhiteshellcottages.ca could be a worthwhile venture. Areas like these can offer valuable opportunities, and with the benefits of a VA loan, it could be a more accessible option for you.

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.
