Investment properties in Utah are still expensive ($500k-$2.5 million) compared to other markets in the country, especially if the rentals are located near ski resorts, national parks, etc.

The comps sold in that CMA were CROSSING MAJOR STREETS.

I've worked with the top VA lenders in the country, and spoken to the chief appraiser for the VA themselves at a conference.

Quote from @Michelle Miner: I am currently TRYING to close a deal with them... not sure if it is going to cross the finish line.

However, all I see is another attempt to grab our contact information to spam us or cross-sell to members.

Also, I would also not cross-collateralize the houses if a lender would even do a portfolio loan.On your second question about multifamily, I would not jump to multifamily until you have experienced the common management problems with single-family as the expenses scale with the size of the property as well as the cost of mistakes.I would consider getting Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC) on each property.

If you were to rent it out long term, that's where you cross the line. 

@ mags@Maggie Jones  I would suggest they buy a bowel with a rim around it, They make them for cats and you fill the rim with water and it makes a small moat around the food that ants have a hard time crossing.  

I'm also partially blind which made it hard to see all problems prior, he tried getting me to do a video chat with him on pissedconsumer.com where he has most of his negative reviews listed.Thankfully my landlords  now are amazing they arent cross country and come as soon as I message or call them. 

Welcome to BP @Ramiro De Leon and thank you for your service to our country.
