@Derek Heinz you might be better off finding a major fixer-upper, getting a hard money loan (HML) to acquire it. 

The vehicle is over 6000 pounds GVWR and will be used nearly entirely for business (going to current rental and searching for new properties to acquire)."

I recently acquired my first primary residence and am seeing ways I can best utilize the space for real estate investing.

Your current single-family property has a $1,000 monthly out-of-pocket expense—consider selling and using a 1031 exchange to acquire a multifamily property with better cash flow.

I think it's about the best time there is to outside of the past to invest and acquire properties.I just recently found an article by Julie Taylor from realtor.com that was posted December 10th that has some predictions on housing markets where "Home Sales Are Set to Soar" with Colorado Springs listed as number 1 with expected YoY sales increase of 27.1% and Denver expected to increase 13.6% YoY quoting Christine Dupont-Patz who is a real estate agent in the Denver area. 

Experience is another thing - it shapes and challenges the knowledge you acquired and you always find yourself wanting of knowledge because each day is a new day with different challenges and demands as is each deal.

Or can you acquire another business in an adjacent field that increases profitability?

One large component of their business model is to acquire distressed mortgage debt then foreclose and resell the property as REO on the open market.Due to moratoriums on both foreclosures and evictions, as I understand it, AHP is essentially experiencing a log jam on the back end of their exit cycle to recover investor capital and profit.

(relinquished property has mortgage of 200k, so need mortgage of 200k+ for acquired property?

So I'm strongly considering adding a handful of these to my buy & hold portfolio.I understand that there's no "risk-free" method to acquiring these properties subto, but have any of you had success over the long-term acquiring properties with VA loans attached?
