When I did my first house hack, I used a 5% down conventional because I was in a similar situation to you.  

The main reason that I like the larger units it that a 4-plex ranges from roughly 1-1.5 million in my market. 

@John Bowens, I need to do this with my Equity Trust SDIRA.

I have a W-2 job primary and my business partner has another business.

I am working on my first BRRR, and am close to finishing up the rehab.  

I have my current mortgage as a 25 year (5 year ARM) at 7.5%.

I find that it's almost a one stop shop in that I can use it for my business checking and savings accounts, bookkeeping, for rent collection, I can issue virtual credit card, I can create all the financial reports I need to run my real estate business and prepare for tax filing and through their partners I can vet my tenants, develop state-specific leases and more.

Hello,Using Bigger pockets to assist in my job search!

I am looking for my second rental, BP has gotten me in touch with some really great folks in the Rent to Build space and I am researching that in the Ocala/Inverness and Jacksonville areas. 

Hi @Craig Oram,I can see that there are still a number of issues that we’re just not on the same page about.
