I'm currently reading David Greene's "BRRRR" book and I will be utilizing my VA Loan as a first home purchase (duplex) for my first home utilizing the VA Loan.

One your loans will be a higher interest rate, next you will have annual filings, the cost of a registered agent every year, and items like that. 

Quote from @Arshiya Taami: I am planning on purchasing a profitable business with its real estate included in florida and the dscr is 1.85. the problem is im just short of 600k for the down payment. that being said, can anyone provide me any reputable loan companies that will offer bridge loans and what their requirements are. thank you in advance! 

Great tools that get updated regularly.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.We are all here to help you learn and grow.

Start by talking to a lender to determine how much you can afford (and that you can qualify for a loan). 

If you don’t care about maximizing loan amount then you could start whenever.

It has to be your primary residence to be able to use your VA loan.

Alternatively, your sibling might use a 1031 exchange to defer taxes by reinvesting in like-kind properties, though this doesn't directly fund a primary residence.Other ideas include leveraging a HELOC on the rental properties for the down payment, taking out a 401(k) loan, structuring an owner-financed agreement, or a lease-to-own arrangement.

I'm from Grand Rapids.I use a 11"x18" graph paper and a daily morning workflow - combined with Google Calendar.

I have referred a loan out of state based on NOI, cap rate at purchase, room for increase income and purchase price vs market value.Maybe I didn’t articulate the intent of the post as clearly as I hopedFor anyone who has bought multi family out of state, “what are gives you the warm and fuzzies about a deal”:Obviously not cap rate, but maybe vacancy rate,  Cash on Cash ,GRM, IRR, Unlevered free cash flow, Cities over 250k?
