I'm feeling most drawn to a buy and hold rental investing strategy and like the idea of the BRRRR strategy in tandem with VA loans, basically refinancing VA loan backed mortgages to conventional loans once there is 20% equity in the home.

Do the math at a 6% loan rate.There's a reason many apartment buildings have been converted to condos and sold.

On the other hand, if you're aiming for long-term rental properties, getting prequalified with a lender specializing in traditional loans or DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans is key.

I argue that more money in the hands of the rehabber makes the loan safer.

I would pull a FHA loan for $665,000 and live in one side and rent the other side out to a family member for $2,000 a month.

Hi Lenders, currently in the market for a cash flow management tool to help organize payoffs and broker commissions to get a better understanding of how many more loans I can fund on a given month.

these are construction loans 

Rates are high, usually in the high 8s or low 9s, and you may pay 2-4 points on the loan. 

I have a great one in Kansas City for over 15 years that I've used multiple times (only auto loans however), but hoping to branch out locally as I begin my investor journey in Arizona. 

It allows you to take advantage of a low down payment loan.
