Definitely focusing on offmarket or even on market multifamily homes (minimum 4 units). started off in real estate development last 2 years but the paydays are brutal building then waiting to sell.So now looking to switch up strategies to purchase cashflowing properties and then get back to ground up construction or even possible fix and flips. 

I'm wondering how anyone does it in this area, or maybe I just have not been looking for long enough.I really would like to purchase in my area as it would be my first rental property, and I am most familiar with the northern VA area If this is not to be, I also am wondering what markets nearby would be better.I’m also in Fairfax County, and you’re absolutely right: Fairfax County and much of Northern VA are tough markets for cash flow, especially starting out without a substantial down payment.

You can do as little as 10% down on your purchase price with a little experience, and then get up to 100% of your rehab budget financed!

Quote from @Spencer Elliott: Long story short, land is on loan and I’m purchasing a manufactured lot as a temporary home/future ADU to my final build.

It is objectively not a good time to acquire Class A multifamily assets.

I own a mobile home that I rent out and I am looking to make my first MFH purchase this upcoming year to house hack. 

In addition, since the rule changes, it seems like many agents are delaying the whole conversation until the very last minute when the buyer has little or no opportunity to object, research, or think about what they are agreeing to, without risking losing the home they just decided to offer on.

Did you expect it to be that lucrative when you made the purchase?

I ran every scenario of tackling this purchase myself.
