If you're new to real estate investing and looking to get the best value, I'd suggest considering **house hacking** using an **FHA loan**—it can be a great option for first-time buyers.

You will both incur long term capital gains. 

I was house hacking a duplex with a VA loan and there were some beams that needed to be put up in the basement.

Quote from @Peter Schimmerman: Find someone who manages long-term rentals in that area.

Especially of investors that purchase multfimalies and run a short term rental business through them.

Has anyone have any experience acquiring multifamily property using a SBA loan like to get your thoughts?

(DCSR loan?)

With the new landlord/tenant ordinance that allows the tenant and extended amount of time to renew, this has encouraged prospective tenants to lock in leases for Fall 2022 term starting as early as last November.

Remember this is a marathon......That said are you planning to flip, hold(short or long term?)

If the seller is insisting on a high price with not-so-hot financing terms, though, this may be a riskier project than it's worth.
