Military real estate investing is perhaps the easiest way for veterans to reach financial freedom. Today’s guest is a prime example, going from broke recruiter to “military millionaire” in just FIVE years. And get this-military real estate isn’t just for service members. Everyday investors can take advantage of certain perks, too!
Welcome back to the “BiggerPockets Real Estate” podcast! During his first seven years in the U.S. Marine Corps, David Pere was a serial spender, blowing each paycheck and saving very little money. But when a friend recommended the personal finance classic, “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” things finally clicked, and David realized the unique investing opportunities the military provided. Within four months, he had taken advantage of the favorable VA loan and bought his first house hack!
In today’s episode, you’ll learn how the military puts you in a great position to take financial risks early in your career. David takes a deep dive into VA loans, their benefits, their requirements, and what buyers and sellers should know. He even shares the best-kept secret in military investing-the Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL) program-which makes it EASY for investors to score a better interest rate!

Great podcast! I used my VA entitlement to buy a $30K condo in Hawaii in 1978 but later sold it to a friend. I'm retired, have my entitlement and have been considering using it again. This was a timely podcast, especially regarding reusing my entitlement.

0% down VA home loan is the greatest Loan program on the market. You definitely need to take advantage of it to buy a 1 to 4 unit property

Nice! Do you have recommendations for lenders who specialize in VA loans?
@johnnyb33good21 17 күн бұрын
I would recommend going to a mortgage broker who will then shop your lenders to find a VA lender. This is what I did instead of going to a lender such as Veterans United . Surprisingly Veterans United is not the best blender for veterans despite their name. I've used my VA home loan three times to buy 4plexs

I have a VA loan and want to house hack a 4 plex any guidance or tips?
@johnnyb33good21 17 күн бұрын
If you currently have a VA home loan. You need to talk to a mortgage broker to see about how much remaining entitlement you have left or to see if you can restore your entitlement to use your VA home loan again. After that is squared away. Definitely go for the biggest property you can such as a four-unit. Buying a fourplex is the same as buying a duplex or a single-family house. No difference. So don't be intimidated by 4 units. Even if the property isn't going to make you money right away. It will allow you to live in one of the units and rent the other units out those tenants will help you pay your own mortgage and live for Less which will help you save more money to then put down for another building. I've used my VA home loan 3 times for 4plex's FHA 3.5% on a 4plex Fannie mae 5% down on a 4plex. Currently have 11 properties with 49 units These programs are awesome and you definitely should take advantage of them to help you build a rental portfolio

how do we get well off in this economic climate? The interest rates to make any cash flow seem to be too high if they were what I have my original loan for 2.75% I could understand how that make extra.
@johnnyb33good21 17 күн бұрын
I would still recommend a house hack find a 2 to 4 unit property. Instead of paying rent at someone else's property you buy a small multi-family property live in one unit and rent the other units out. Those tenants will help you pay your mortgage. Which will allow you to live for less and save more money in your pockets to then buy another property and go from there. Overtime rents and values will increase and you will benefit by owning. you have to think long-term.

The entitlement requirement is no more. There is no cap on entitlement unless you are grandfathered in now….
@Frommilitarytomillionaire 27 күн бұрын
yes and no. It is no more on your first-time use. Then it comes back into play unless you utilize a one-time restoration of benefits, or sell the home(s).

@4444micnic 27 күн бұрын
@@masterkong369 that calculation would be based on the County Loan Limit for the particular area and how much entitlement you have used on a previous loan with any entitlement restoration. For example here in Ventura County, CA loan limit is 954,500. Max second tier entitlement is 238,625 (1/4 max loan limit). My buyer has 82,188 of currently used entitlement from his other home purchase he still owns. We subtract 82,188 from 238,625 and a remaining entitlement of 156,437. Take 156,437 times 4 and get a zero down limit of $625,748. The great part is that he can still purchase a house higher than the 0 down limit with a slightly small down payment… for instance if he was buying a house for 780,000 he only has to pay a quarter of the difference between the purchase price and his zero down limit…e.g. 780,000-625,748 leaves $154,252 difference. 1/4 of $154,252 is $38,563 - which would be his down payment requirement.

The entitlement in your second depends on how much entitlement you used in the first. Example, I own my primary residence in Hawaii. The “cap” for a home in Hawaii is $1,149,825 (there is no cap if you have your full entitlement which means you can buy a 6+million dollar home if you wanted), so if I was to keep my home that I paid 785k for I would have $364,825 left of entitlement to use on another property. But if I sold my home, I would have the full entitlement and no cap on the price of the property (as long as I qualified for the loan). I hope that made sense. It can be a confusing process.
