Exploring distressed multifamily properties with value-add potential presents an alternative avenue.

I would run a spreadheet and compare the present with the anticipated.

@Michael Poloncic- if understanding your question -if the seller  want to buy a new  home and use his va loan eligibility -  he will likely need to have his  present VA loan paid off  before this can occur

Anything above 10+ units is generally a minimum of 30-35% down but the rates at present are prohibitive.

For fun, I also added a column for monthly cost for 'Present Value', which does not account for inflation.That said, my Present Value monthly cost for my rental that rents out at $1950/mo is $208, which is about 11%, or close to the recommended 10%.

This is something I've always wanted to get into and I was presented with the opportunity.

I have met a lot of connections there, and they generally have good speakers/presenters. 

I can tell you the aluminum is far stronger than the gluelam data that I found:  the company presentation is reporting some strength value at 2400 psi while 6061-T6 is ~40,000 yield / ~45,000 ultimate. 

She said she'd spend some time figuring out her offer, write it on paper, and present it to me when I picked up the rent the following month.The next month, she gave me a sheet of paper with very neat writing. 

I just watched his web class presentation last night, I was looking to get information from someone who has gone through the course.
