Happy to chat...being a local GC takes out a lot of the risk of the biggest variable for most investors (unpredictable rehab costs) and also allows you to consider more options than the average investor, with your rehab costs being significantly lower.

Unless it is a new build, and it comes with purchase warranties are an extra cost and may or may not even be executed when needed depending on the circumstances. 

Covering the mortgage isn’t an issue, but I’m considering factors like: Multi-Family: House hacking would help offset costs right away, but I’d likely need to put money into renovations upfront.Single-Family: Easier move-in with no immediate renovations needed, plus potentially lower tenant turnover once I rent it out For those who have been in a similar situation, what did you choose and why?

Quote from @Waruna Yapa: My goal is to find competitive rates and fees.

As for competition.  

Connecting with experienced investors or joining local real estate groups can provide valuable insights and help you avoid costly mistakes.

Bonus points if they’re used to working with investors or can help keep costs in check while maintaining quality.Cheers,Kevin I would say this about BRRRRR, especially as a newer investor. 

Without this workout, the down payment requirements, current levels of interest rates and cost of the transaction would not be incentivizing enough to for investment.
