STOP Buying Houses With Your VA Loan

Most veterans use their VA loan on the lowest leverage outcome. That's the wrong move, and its costing you more than you think. If you live in or are PCSing to Alaska, this is for you. Five years ago, I was a 30-year-old contractor working 18-hour days. Today, I own 9 rentals across Anchorage. My wife retired at 31. Our housing payment? $0 out of our paycheck. In this video, I break down the exact VA loan multi-family strategy I used, real numbers, actual timeline, the mistakes I made, and exactly what your first 30 days look like if you want to start. I did all of this in Anchorage Alaska right next to JBER. Full VA Loan Field Guild: https://slaviklund.com/jber-va-loan-g...

My mission is simple: help people build assets that replace their paychecks. I work with buyers and investors across the state, but I go far beyond just arranging loans. I focus on changing how people think about ownership, leverage and long-term freedom. I bought my first fourplex at 20, and that deal shaped everything. I believe owner-occupied multifamily properties are one of the most underused wealth-building tools available. Over time, I built a rental portfolio, learned how cash flow, depreciation and leverage actually work, and used real estate to retire my wife at 31. Now I teach others how to do it with intention and clarity. I help clients think in decades, not months. My approach is built around strategy, portfolio thinking and becoming the main character of your own life. Outside of lending, I am building a media and education platform around real estate, fatherhood and personal responsibility. At home, I am a husband and father of two boys. Everything I build is guided by one belief: assets should buy your lifestyle, not the other way around. 👉https://slaviklund.com/schedule __ Connect with me Website: https://slaviklund.com/ Instagram:   / slavlund   Facebook:   / slavik.lund   LinkedIn:   / slaviklund   ---- resources ---- ► Full VA loan guide: https://slaviklund.com/jber-va-loan-g... ► Work with me : www.slaviklund.com ► Get a second-look: www.slaviklund.com/second-look ► If you've just bought a rental, watch this:    • You JUST bought your first rental, NOW wha...   ------ the legal stuff ----- Slavik Lund is a Mortgage Loan Originator in Alaska (NMLS: 2054568) licensed under First Rate Financial (NMLS: 184451) , an Equal Housing Lender.
