But it is very much applicable to single family rental and residential units simply by getting bridge financing and a post transfer cash out refi.

Ensure you are buying in an area you want and can see your family living in.

Quote from @James Jefferson: Hi, I have a family member that had a reverse mortgage on their property it's a 3b 1b 1 acre of land heats by oil no hvac and on well water.

Pretty sure OHFA DPA allows for multi family.

I love that you're focused on helping your family and community.

Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

My wife and I purchased our first home, a multi family, to house hack in late 2024.

Similarly, 73170 is in a growing area with good schools and strong community appeal, making it attractive for both renters and families looking to buy.

To answer the first big question in your post — single family vs multi-family — I am firmly in the multi-family camp.

If you are trying to raise a few hundred thousand to buy another 4-6 unit property, while I would not invest in someone with less than a year experience, I am guessing some of your pilot friends, other friends, or family members may be willing to chip in.Now, if you want to jump from a triplex to 80 units, raising 4-5mm of equity and another 4-5mm in debt, than I would just manage your expectations.
