@Kyle McKnett Thanks, I appreciate the information. 

@Mark Frattini Please don’t be breed restrictive. There are no “aggressive” dogs as you say. Chihuahuas are one of the most aggressive breeds out there and I’m sure you weren’t talking about them. I’m currently renting and have 2 cats. I paid $250 for my deposit and $25 in pet rent per month. This was in Prescott AZ and it’s pretty much the same here in Phoenix AZ.

I know that there have to be inspections in order for me to be able to buy a house using an FHA or VA loan, but I’m wondering how this would affect being able to get a good deal. I know that the more reno that needs to be done, the better the deal, but 1. I don’t want to have to do too much on my first deal (multi family house hack), and 2. How much Reno would the underwriting in those loans allow me to have? Is there somewhere where I can find the specifics? Thank you for your help.

Thank you @Vaughn Smith I appreciate the advice. 

@Elenis Camargo Thanks for the encouragement, using the VA loan would definitely make my life easier.

@Andrew Syrios I agree that I would need a lot of equity in it when I buy. I guess I’ll have to consider it when making my decision, thank you. 

Great information @Jonathan New thank you!

@Jonathan New I hadn’t heard of a CCA before. Thanks for the advice. 

@Frank Jiang I don’t have a property in mind yet, but I understand the point. I think I’ll just keep on my path, saving money for a down payment, to put myself in a safer position. Thanks for your advice. 

@Trey Crusey I’m considering a 4 plex if possible. I want to start out as big as I can.
