Looking at the assessment the complex is low on funding:562,979 Current Reserve Cash1,854,615 Ideal Reserve BalanceI have not asked for historical P&Ls or Balance Sheets however looking at the assessment I feel as if I need too. 

The ideal first investment property would be a multifamily which I can househack...however, my constraints for that would be within the area bounded by the highways 35, 75 and PGBT (slightly outside is fine too) due to my work commute.

Who's your ideal tenant?  

If you are hoping to buy lots of rentals it would be ideal to start a relationship with a local lender.  

I have flagged Walla Walla as my ideal place to invest.  

I was hoping to get some direction on the best way to obtain financing that would: Increase the likelihood of getting approval ( recent grad however I make a decent income) , wont ding my credit too much (I would ideally try more than one institution to get the best deal).Some things I am considering:1. 

This shows what type of tenant might be ideal for the space and if they are national, strong regional,or mom and pop in nature.What type of tenant determines structure and negotiation of the lease with tenant improvement credits,etc.I would not mess around with some cheap generic lease bought from Office Depot.

This is my ideal situation.

Ideally I would take that money and put it towards a down payment on a family home here in Texas.  

Sandy Springs seems to be doing well for SFHs but I haven't seen any duplexes up this way (you see them as you get into southern Marietta though, but may not be ideal location for you in your 20s.)
