@Jaycee Greene I will be in FT Jackson. I am trying to find some off market Multifamily since a lot of the good deals seem to be done before hitting the market especially when it comes to Multifamily.

@Wale Lawal thank you! I really want to find a Multifamily but I am having trouble finding quality properties that are currently on the market. 

Do you have any recommendation for finding off market deals?

@Alecia Loveless Thank you Alecia. I love house hacking too!! I used a portion of my entitlements to buy a rental I still own at my first duty station. 

I will reach out to in some other communities. I tried to post what I was looking for in bigger pockets and got shut down for soliciting business

Are you targeting Columbia, SC?

 @Jaycee Greene That is the goal sir. Especially because I will need to live in the property for a year to use VA entitlements.

I am open to investing elsewhere but would have to explore other acquisition methods.

For those who've successfully acquired small multifamily properties (duplexes, triplexes, quads), what strategies worked best for you? Did you go the traditional route with conventional financing, leverage seller financing, use creative deal structures like subject-to, or something else entirely?

Im especially military and PCSing to Columbia SC. I am willing to use rest of my VA entitlement but interested in approaches that minimize upfront capital requirements while still making deals work. Would love to hear from folks who've been through the processâ€"what worked, what didn't, and what you'd do differently next time.

Hey @Collin Stewart, welcome to the BP Forum! With your military membership, I would suggest you use a VA loan and house hack in a 2-4 MF property.

Hey Jaycee, thank you for the help  that makes sense. It seems like there is very little availability on market. Do you have any recommendations for finding the multifamilies? It looks like a lot of them get scooped up before hitting the market.

Hey Everyone,

I am currently active duty with VA entitlements looking to purchase a multi family. Ideally a quadplex with light to moderate rehab in Columbia SC. My target move in date is JULY.

If you know of anyone looking to sell or Realtors/wholesalers with access to off market properties please reach out


 Hey Sir - I have a few multifamily spots in Columbia that I would consider selling. I could also offer seller financing. Hit me up and I can see if we have a fit for anything



 That would be great. Lets connect. I think I sent you a message privately with my contact information. Just let me know if you got it. Sorry I’m new to the app.

Hey @Collin Stewart, welcome to the BP Forum! Do you have an idea of the price range you're targeting and how much rehab (to me, light = 10%-25% of PP, moderate = 25%-50%) are you comfortable with? 

Hey @Jaycee Greene, if that's the case then I'm probably only in the top end of light. 25% is about the max especially if I'm doing a VA loan it has to be able to pass the inspection.

I am open to other forms of creative financing if the seller is open though.  

@Collin Stewart What about something like this: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/3805-Lamar...?

That level of renovation is fine as long as I’m not getting into electrical or foundational issues with it.
