Fairly easy qualifications as far as credit score and down payment.

And when it comes time to screen your tenants be firm in your qualifications.  

Few thoughts:(1) Submit offers on more than 2-units - you can go up to 4 for a conventional and FHA - I have multiple clients that have done this (though you can ask your loan officer for specific qualifications)(2) For mortgages - you only usually need to occupy for one year and then can switch to a rental and then use that income for your next mortgage "Borrower must occupy, establish, and use the Property as Borrower’s principal residence within 60 days after the execution of this Security Instrument and must continue to occupy the Property as Borrower’s principal residence for at least one year after the date of occupancy, unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, or unless extenuating circumstances exist that are beyond Borrower’s control."

All fha and va are assumable, with qualification of the buyer.

With VA loans, you don't even need to be a veteran to qualify, however, you'd still be required to meet their qualifications and standards. 

Eligibility Requirements: What are the qualifications needed to apply for this loan?

I have a rental qualifications that involve a minimum credit score, rental history references, background check, income requirements, and a photo ID. 

The main thing to look at does it fit your investment strategy, is it in a good area, and does it meet your cash flow qualifications. 

I need some advice on how do i go about investing 18%, because we are looking at an SBA loan. my Partner need help with more upfront cash. so If im able to put in that upfront value not all at once but more like go 50% in all initial and then for the SBA qualification show the rest of the amount im will to put in.
