How hard or difficult is it to get a property zoned as a multi-unit property?

It eats into cash flow, we may have difficulty saving for our next down payment,, and I am worried that the large mortgage will affect our debt to income ratio when we apply for a loan for our next property.I am also concerned about paying too much for the property as there are no solid comps in the area. 

in theory yes. in actuality, no. reasoning: banks don't like loaning you money when you have no "skin in it" that's why you need down payments. you also need to cover closing costs. theoretically, banks may lend you money if the deal is so good that you have enough "instant equity" to cover their ***. for example, banks like loaning 80% of the value.

That being said, the difficulty is that they will feel "punished" for having told you.

Again, other might feel differently here.b) Skin in the game: as a conservative investor, I understand that the dirty secret of industries that the waterfall compensation is in the line with me and incentivizes sponsors to take more risk.

That seems reasonable, they're not helping with damages but, at least they have some skin in the game.

@Jason D.He stated, you can’t talk a certain way to people down their if you have “ white skin “ because they will kill you.- I think it was a tactic to incite fear obviously and ruin my investment strategy. - I don’t really like manipulation, but I know many people try to use it in this business. - My Tampa Home is Class C!!

Andrew, for someone that is already struggling to balance family and work, doing it yourself would be very difficult. I

I see the advantages of using the leverage of a cash buyer, but if I do this method, how difficult is it in reality to refinance properties that have no note and are below $50k.Thanks,I look forward to learning more and contributing where I can to this great community!

Should I anticipate difficulties making this transition even if the current leases do not auto-renew?
