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...

How to get started?

Hi! I’m 23F and I just graduated college with an english degree (😅) but i’ve been working in nonprofits since I was 16 and lucked into an amazing first job with an one of the biggest and best real estate non-profits! I love my job so far, but it’s my first time being surrounded by such wealth (and very hard working, deserving individuals.) To be quite honest, I‘ve had a rough few years juggling multiple jobs to finish school, and the idea of myself not living paycheck to paycheck seems light years away. This is all being said, I guess I’m posing the question towards the group of what I can do now to start building that kind of future for myself. I find real estate very interesting, and i’ve loved learning about all the machinations behind development- I’m just not sure where to begin within the industry (investment/rentals are definitely not an option for me yet). I’m also looking to go back to school, but being that I don’t know where to start, I wouldn’t like to begin classes aga...
