We have couple turnkeys, and couple of BRRRs that we did so far (all are single family residential properties with long-term tenants).We are interested in exploring commercial real estate, and wanted to get all of your help in getting started. 

Yeah- I have family in New Orleans so that's kindof why I was leaning towards it/investigating.

It’s a single family house that I bought for $160k.

If your property is residential single-family owner-occupied in a good area, the buyer has good credit, made a good down payment, and twelve or more on-time payments have been made, you'll be in the lower range.Note buyers, just like lenders, won't go above a certain loan-to-value (LTV) ratio.

DSCR or Fannie/Freddie loans can go up to 75% on single family homes, multi family homes (2-4 unit) max at 70% if you stick with Fannie/Freddie.Other things to consider would be:Paying points for a lower rate vs higher rate with no pointsIf going DSCR - Prepayment penalty term (0-5 years)The lower the loan size ($200-250k and lower), you should consider paying up to 2 points and doing a 5 year prepayment penalty if going DSCR.

From there, you can move on to the BRRRR method with single-family homes—buying undervalued properties, rehabbing them, renting them out, and refinancing to pull out your investment for the next deal.

house hack in some sort of fashion.Either buy a duplex or large single family that you can rent out a room/side of the houseOr buy a fixer upper in the best neighborhood you can afford. 

Personally, I bought a 3 bed single family home soon after starting my job and had two friends from college rent which covered my mortgage plus a little extra.

Refrigerators aren’t typically expected in Texas single-family rentals, and it may be the same in Georgia.For other appliances, buying new is usually the better choice.
