I am not really a fan of the program because we have a very nice situation in our current home.Putting 20% down for a conventional loan is a steep task financially so I do not think that is an option plus I have been told by many of my friends with multiple MF homes to never use your own money to get into one.Then there is always using the equity we have built up in this current MF home we live in to purchase the next - I am not sure how that works but have done some research on home equity loans and believe that would be another option.Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve been following much of the research you suggested, like inspecting the property and assessing comparable homes in the area.

My research also suggests Roku may be an easy way to handle it.  

I am sure that Scott is aware that he should do lots of research before buying an MTR, but if a part of that research can't be posting a potential deal to the forums and getting community input/guidance on how to think about it, what is the BP forum even for?

I have been doing research into this but so far have not been able to be fully sure of this.

I'm not sure what the path to begin looks like, but I've been researching about different approaches, specifically multi family properties and House hacking.

I honestly had no idea what he was talking about, but when he mentioned VA loan"ish" on an investment property for 5% down I figured it was worth a little research. 

Do your own research from multiple sources.

George, Utah by researching local properties, considering FHA loans, and renting out individual rooms.

Then ask her how she'd do it, so that she has to research it on her own and learn.
