I would certainly take advantage of the 0% down VA loan option and purchase a 2-4 unit property.

If this is for a residential 1-4 unit non owner occ / investment property I would compare a few different lenders.

We desperately need new homes being built.If SFRs are being built, they're slim 3-story units often under 1,800sqft and priced around $600k+.

If you haven't already, you should research the stats on Furnished Finder to see how many people are looking for a midterm rental, how many units are currently available and the configuration and prices hosts are offering.

@Jed Butikofer You need to find a market that has decent cash flow (think $200/unit/month) and become an EXPERT on that location.

Typically repairs are something they would coordinate with tenants - did they inspect the unit, indicate they would be the primary POC going forward, etc.? 

Definitely focusing on offmarket or even on market multifamily homes (minimum 4 units). started off in real estate development last 2 years but the paydays are brutal building then waiting to sell.So now looking to switch up strategies to purchase cashflowing properties and then get back to ground up construction or even possible fix and flips. 

We did get much lower costs when we changed to minisplits but the initial cost is high.Central HVAC unit, very expensive to run.

Either starting with a multi-unit or house hacking to mitigate the payment.

Although I'm seeing some great deals happen in 5-10 unit assets near the downtown and university areas.
