first position on NON owner occupied only.. rents 2 to 4X payments allows for dual repayment sources.. 1  rent and 2 owner of the rental.. we have done a little over 1500 of them in the last 5 years with less than 10 non pays. thats the kind of notes i like  8 to 10% return like clock work.. these are for the most conservative investor as an alternative to being a landlord.  3 to 7 year maturities  .Kind of like turnkey for the note industry ..we also do some very short term debt rates are higher but then you have to find another deal.

Especially as dual military you have a huge chunk of nontaxabke income and you could  potentially  Come away with cash and zero taxable income from rentals while actually banking thousands.

Then rent your single family.This is what I did:Property 1: FHA Duplex (house hack) 3.5% downProperty 2: 20% down owner occupied triplexProperty 3: Sold property 1 to purchase 4 unit with 25% downProperty 4: Re-using FHA loan with a 5% or 10% down payment This manuevuring of the pieces has put us in a position where we started with little cash and now my wife and I are saving a serious chunk of change every month (no kids, dual incomes .... she's a teacher too, btw :) ).

Most brokerages do not allow their agents to perform dual representation (representing both the buyer and the seller).That doesn't mean that the agent won't write up an offer for you, submit it, and broker the deal...they just won't be representing YOU.

He wanted to do a dual settlement on the house. 

As others have said each state has its own rules...That being the case there is three types of agents, listing agent (sellers), buyers agent, and a dual disclosure agent.
