The strategy you are implementing we like the call the "Holy Grail" of house hacking haha; purchasing a small-multifamily to house hack with a VA are powerful tools, and done correctly can really help kick start and build a great porfolio.

People are feeling the pressure from higher interest rates (yes they're coming down slightly) but with turnkey multifamily that has to sell it can be powerful to have cash. 

Lately I have been running into some road blocks while doing multipe flips at a time due to capital and man power.

Some states require a long formal court process, during which time the person in charge (executor or administrator, aka personal representative) may have certain interim powers to sell real estate before distributing to heirs or beneficiaries.Other States make it possible to get a single court order distributing real estate to heirs or beneficiaries without the need of the lengthy interim (formal) probate.Still other States permit a really informal, simplified method of transferring real estate from a deceased person to their heirs without court involvement.Hence, you you've got to know the State, the basics rules for that State and what's required to purchase in order to know when the sweet spot to market to a probate seller is.

Granted MFH are more common in rougher parts of central jersey and my purchasing power can't acquire me something in North Jersey here homes are much more desirable when it comes to appreciation and schools and safety.

Don't underestimate the power of posting regularly on social media.

I have a duplex with one meter and I use a Sense (https://sense.com/) device to monitor the total KWH that the upstairs unit is using I then take the electric bill and split the bill up based on the amount of power drawn by the upstairs unit vs the total usage.

Quote from @Warren Powers: @Justin Brin I do have a trusted, competent successful arbitrage operator for my out of state rental and it has been great for several years.

As Jeff’s first fix-and-flip, this deal showcased the power of teamwork, strategy, and smart renovations, leading to a fantastic outcome.

In a full gut, I upgrade the panel to 200 amp service just because the requirements from power now, is a lot different than in 1955.
