It gives terms identical to a VA loan and is specifically for multifamily purchases.It is a deal by deal basis. 

This allows for deferral of capital gains taxes until December 31, 2026, with potential reductions in the taxable amount if held long-term.

Mean while i would be building equity, and if rates do lower, or when the term ends, could refi for better rates and then maybe cash flow.My questions are:Is this too naively optimistic?

AirDNA shows it on the rise in terms of annual revenue, occupancy rate, average daily rate and revpar, with about 3,000 total listings.

Hi David, If building long-term equity and scaling quickly are priorities, then option 2 aligns better for you.
