VA Loan Help (FL)

Good morning, I have a question about my VA loan that I have tried to google but it seems too specific and anything government related is unnecessarily convoluted and difficult to find an answer.

I am active duty military and own my home with a VA loan, my wife is also active duty (separating in July). We are looking to buy a house in the same city, just closer to where I work, and rent out the house we currently own (FL). I would like to use the rest of my VA eligibility (first home was ~300k, second home will be ~450k) for this home, and I think I will have enough. I'm working on getting my COE now to check, but I think we will have enough cash on hand to cover the difference if required.

We will likely being moving to another state ~18 months after we buy the second home. Will I be able to rent out the second home after we move and not break any VA loan laws? When we eventually settle down after I get out, we will use my wife's VA loan to buy our third home. Does this make sense? Should I do this differently? Our end goal is two homes in current state (FL, both rentals), and third "forever home" in different state (CO, maybe) when I get out in ~2026.

Thanks!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
