Here is my question… Should I exhaust all my conventional bank loans, most likely getting better rates, and having an easier time of it, or do I develop a relationship immediately with a Portfolio lender, who will, hopefully, be competitive and in it for the long haul?

Hey Everyone, Can anyone give me pointers on how to find more Multi-Family Property options after you have exhausted your search through real-estate companies/ online postings? 

Sorry, I'm still lost on why restoration of entitlement exists if refinancing into conventional accomplishes the same thing and can be done without selling any formerly VA-financed properties.Real world example:1) Bought a VA-financed property at one low-cost duty station2) Bought another VA-financed property at new high-cost duty station with secondary entitlement- With full entitlement now exhausted in a high-cost locale, what could I do to use VA again without selling either property?

Vetting tenants is crucially important for being a landlord and as owner of the property, nobody will complete this process with as much integrity as you will.I suggest exhausting your #2 options before being willing to give up 10% of gross rent value.  

I've been hearing multiple things like you can take out multiple VA home loans as long it doesn't exhaust the VA down payment cap.

I understand opportunity cost but only to the extent that you are exhausting all your "opportunity".

I seem to have exhausted the people I can get get ahold of to ask this question to, and get a helpful answer from, so I figured I'd give it a shot on here.

Partially because it didn't feel like much of a success after all was said and done and I was exhausted.

It's part of the game, it's exhausting, draining, and sucks the life out of you..
