I’m a new investor and looking to invest in a small multi family.

Maybe in a year you could sell the note.

Cost of borrowing goes way down when no one wants to borrow like in a bad economy.

These can sometimes offer better cash flow, especially if you’re in a family-friendly area with unique features like extra square footage, an ADU, or flexible layouts.

With that type of income you can buy rentals with cash in a short amount of time anyways.

Plus, letting a unit sit vacant for 6 months without approving needed maintenance is totally Irresponsible on your behalf.I’m glad we gave you a 30 day notice and would do so in a heart beat again to any other landlord with a similar mindset to yours.Much success 

However, consider calling the VA’s regional loan center or speaking with a VA-approved lender who can interpret the rules in a more specific scenario tailored for you.

The funny thing about that is that the big gatlinburg fire didn't start in a cabin.

You'll probably want to look into having your assets held in a living trust or some other kind of trust if wishing to avoid probate in California.As to your question about the mortgage, there's a federal law that the attorney might be referencing that generally protects transfers into a living trust from causing the need to refinance, but would need more details to discern.

It potentially can be possible if you provide your capital to a fund who operates as a private lender.You would have to be a non-managing member in an LLC or an LP in a Partnership.Therefore, you would have no say in items such as who to lend the money to, at what rates, etc.Best of luck
