They are trying to sell the property 1) because they no longer want to rent anymore, but mainly because 2) They want to free up that "VA slot" and use it to build their "dream home"... 

And they are selling because they have a home loan with the 'VA' and since it is taking up a slot of theirs, they want it gone.

Details I'm looking at: Budget is 350k; 3+ BR, 2+ BA; Single-Family Home or Townhome; Low HOA; Also looking to rent rooms (House Hack).Amazon workers are not likely to live in Anacostia... that would require them to go over two bridges in order to get to work.... if an Amazonian is looking for cheap housing they are more likely going to look at Prince Georges County in Suitland or Oxon Hill by the MGM casino and then they only have to cross the Wilson Bridge. 

Not necessary for this post, but we were hoping to use our FHA slot there.

By obtaining multiple financed properties you could be using up a few of your slots out of the 10 available under your name.Commercial banks can do blanket notes which have less favorable terms (3, 5, 7, 10 yr balloon usually) and rates will be a bit higher typically than conventional.A lender who packages all mortgages together in one transaction could underwrite and order docs on all files at once (3 set of docs, 3 mtg notes, 3 trust deeds etc) for signing so could be very streamlined.If These properties are to be held for income producing purposes the least expensive money with the most solid 30 year fixed terms with be conventional financing, but even with conventional there are pros and cons.

Melissa  in my mind on the west coast house hacking four plex's as a young up and coming investor is probably one the best things one can do.. use your 4 mortgage slots for 6 units over a 4 year ramp up and get the best rates and best leverage. 

Just across the bridge from new Springfield MGM Casino.

I haven't had any issues, but the one set is getting a lot of use... we are finishing a renovation and figured it would be good to have another on hand... like playing the slots and always winning.I am still waiting for the tenants to complain about one or the other using the machines too much (aka sinking to much cash into my pocket) but hasn't happened yet.

Find a bimbo in a casino lounge to pay $10,000 to get married and divorced later, with a solid prenup, and get $500K instead of $250K.
