SFH or multifamily ?

Posted

So my wife is a real estate agent I am a veteran. I was looking to get my first deal earlier this year the deal fell through. My wife has been waiting many years to own a home. I am looking to own multiple small multi family homes to create, cash flow to pay the mortgage on the single-family home, which I want to use a VA loan on since the deal has fell through my wife does not want to start with multi family units. She wants to start with a single-family home. I don't think this is a good idea because I think it will be harder to get a multi family after you buy a single-family primary residence. Could someone shed some light and give me some ideas to get through this process?
