Separately, the benefits and disadvantages of renting to Section 8 is a topic of extended debate on this forum.

You won’t find many seller-financing deals here, so if you're looking to scale quickly, your next best option is the BRRRR method—using cash or hard money to acquire properties and DSCR loans to refinance into. 

@Enrique Toledo  If the seller is firm at 10% down, you can always get a personal loan for that 10%. 

I look to purchase first property with in the next 2 months with VA loan.

Give me a shout if you'd like a rate quote for your DSCR loan.

I would get a bridge loan to acquire the property if it needs to be rehabbed and/or closed quickly.

House hacking is an excellent strategy, especially with the potential to use an FHA loan to secure a property with a low down payment. 

FHA loans follow very strict guidelines when it comes to property condition.

Hard money loan that covered 100% of rehab and 90% of purchase.

I see little benefit in the FHA as an option as long as the 5% conventional loans are available now.
