Traditionally, isn't there more ROI in purchasing existing multifamilies rather than constructing new ones?

We don't want to do 7 traditional mortgages; but would rather bundle these up as a portfolio.

@Christian Garcia  You can easily find it on this website.  

You have added value.Before moving out (when still owner occupied) I would refinance it using traditional loan (not the VA loan). 

Thank you,Christian Fadul

There is a lot of discussion about wholesaling, rent to own, and other non traditional investing methods 

You will need some history of stabilized cash flow to get the best rates from a traditional lender. 

Csh transactions are less complicated and close faster than a sale using traditional forms of financing, also in markets where houses are inexpensive a wholesale deal might be for an amount so small that you wouldn't be able to get a traditional mortgage.

I run an independent lodging property looking to discuss traditional and non traditional options. 

Asset-based lenders will do that with much more ease than a traditional bank would, but the rates will be a little higher.
