So, they could potentially buy another house later on.

I recently came across a property through an agent with attractive numbers for a house flip.

banks are only owed what their note calls for any bid up at auction above what the bank is owed goes to the next Lien on title or if no other liens it goes to the owner of the house who lost it.

I know a friend who is an attorney, although they don’t specialize in housing law.

In fact, I’d like to turn the primary into a rental and then house hack in a multi-unit.

My girlfriend and I are looking to get into Multifamily real estate investing and have looked into the possibility of house hacking, although a good property for it seems to be tough but not impossible in this area.  

I'm interested in selling them owner finance.

Tenants prefer detached housing over attached housing and stay longer. 

My strategy would be to target properties which are most likely of the owner NOT redeeming.

I think house hacking with a VA is still well worth it.
