I've helped people with SBA loans to purchase real estate for a business, but for buying rental real estate, the DSCR loan is a much better option.

@Sam Ojo Sounds like you've made a lot of positive moves that have resulted in you having options at this point. 

There is a ton of fix and flip going on in Brooklyn and I am trying to work my confidence towards that after my first project at a lower price point around 300K somewhere (CT seems like my only option). 

If you won't be occupying a unit and at least one of the units is occupied by a tenant, you will want to purchase a landlord dwelling policy (there are other options besides a landlord policy but I won't get into that here). 

If you're open to expanding your options, you may want to check the Columbus OH market. 

Account Closed a PMC has two options to get liability insurance (tenant slip & fall) protection:1) Get added to owner's policy as Additionally Insured (NOT named insured).2) Setup a master commercial policy and add every property they manage to it and then charge those owners the cost of the policy.Otherwise, a PMC CANNOT get liability coverage on a property they have no ownership interest in.So, nothing wrong with their request.

For best results shop the vendors (who can be covered by insurance/meet HOA requirements) and get several options to your HOA management company to have the board pick from.

@Seidy Lasker Wash sale rules apply to stock options if they are deemed "substantially identical" to a security sold at a loss within 30 days, such as options with similar expiration dates or strike prices.

There are a lot of options out there.Some of the most useful items BiggerPockets members have identified are features that save time so they can spend time working on their next property.

On Facebook marketplace you have to call it an apartment since they don't have a commercial option.
