Good morning fellow BPers,I’m looking at buying my second property, this time a multifamily with my VA loan.

But I could easily make this a 3 bed, 2 bath within the existing sq ft. 

I think the HELOC is the way to go if you can - However after reading your post, if you are talking about a 6 figure pay day, how long would the property take to generate that 6 figures in cash flow?

This has been our primary business for well-over thirty (30) years, but in California ONLY.Few posters here are attorneys, let alone licensed to practice law in Hawaii.

I would like to use this life adjustment as a catalyst for my entrance into real-estate. 

I'm by no means an expert in this, but you may want to check out the LIHTC if you're considering bigger builds.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I have not had an issue with the claw back scenario and if I did I would IMMEDIATELY begin the eviction process which I would then pursue relentlessly.But alas, some tenants use this trick after they have vacated your property. 

A detailed financial analysis and property inspection will help uncover any surprises.
