In a perfect world (also just my opinion) it would be an amazing way to get a 4 plex and live in it for the required time all the while ensuring that at the 2/3 year point you have 20% equity in it so you can refinance to a traditional loan and then take your VA loan and do it again and again and again.  

Ok perfect thanks !!! 

Trying to fix every last detail in order to make it perfect to please my customer.

Covered porch with spacious prepared area is perfect for hosting those summer backyard parties.

For a BRRR investor, being able to get my money back and have half the equity without the burden of long hours spent on a property has been an almost perfect partnership.Just another way to consider building your RE business when you have a day job providing the W2 and funding.  

Run the numbers.Based on your scenario of $500/month, $6k/yr & an $60k property (low end):1 - It would take you 10 years, if all goes perfect, before you got your money back...and then invest in the next property, where...2 - You would immediately fall behind by another $80k (assuming after 10 years, $60k property now costs $84k), and it would take 6 more years ($7k x 2 properties) to break even again, before you invested in another property (assuming all has gone perfect for 16 straight years now...not going to happen).3 - After the 2nd property is made whole again, you buy your next (3rd) property, and you would immediately fall behind by another $105k (property now costs $105k), and it would take around 5 more years ($7.5k x 3 properties) to break even again, before you invested in another property..Let's take stock of where you would be at this point. 

:) That would’ve been perfect if I were single, but we have a newborn so I wouldn’t feel comfortable with having a roommate and sharing common areas with someone else at this time.  

As low income housing, I don't see needing to be perfect.

I may look into something more scalable/professional as I grow, but for having 3 units Venmo is perfect for what I need now.

I hope you take action.Look, I appreciate your perspective, but some of what you are suggesting is difficult because, well, it is a 1970's house, an extremely well maintained 70's house, but nonetheless....Bathrooms are really too small to get any perspective in, a picture would get a corner and not really impart any information, the reason my husband showed the one bathroom is because it is ensuite to the master, and the tub IS a perfectly preserved (and I mean perfectly literally, not a scratch or water stain) 1970's style one piece thing.
