@Rick Soto,Both options have their pros, but here’s a way to think about it given your plan to move in 5 years:Option 1 (10% DP, 2-1 Buydown): This gives you lower payments for the first two years and saves you cash flow short-term.

Sounds like you're taking advantage of your favorable VA loan options smartly too.Good work - can't wait to hear about your next deal!

I still get qualified candidates from all sources. 

Hey Prashant, I am a real estate agent based in SA, I'm my mainly focus is source invertors with properties

Quote from @Harita Konjeti: Tenant has not paid entire rent for first month, do I have any other options other than charging late payment? 

While Redfin isn’t the most reliable source for estimating the values it indicates that I have about 400k in equity.

Also, when it comes to these infrastructure items you are concerned about, learn more about the "options".

The agent that I worked with for my SFR rentals at columbus, OH recently came up with some options on mobilehome/parks investments.

I'm looking to start off in areas with lower costs coming in, preferably under $100k single families but definitely under $200k.These markets are particularly appealing for novice investors, especially those from California, as they offer more affordable options compared to local alternatives.

And then it might have the option to extend it to a nice round 5 years if/when the current tenant extends.
