I deal only with multifamily and was not aware of any low dowpayment loans other than FHA.

Ideally, I would like for my "team" to have all of these positions, firing on all cylinders, under one roof.

I imagine I would ideally want to price them a bit below market average to beat out some of the competition.

Ideally I want to earn cash flow, though I realize in this area it’s a pipe dream and at best I will just cover my costs (which I believe is okay, because building equity will still help) The markets I know best are the ones I’ve lived in for many years, which is the Bay Area first, Vancouver BC second (though I’d prefer to not deal with cross-country finances), and Lake Tahoe, CA third.

It's not ideal to purchase a turnkey property for a BRRRR.  

If you opted to go this route, I'd recommend a lengthy conversation with at least one, or ideally a few people who have done this before.

When I had a brain anuerism and a stroke I thougt I would be OK in 6 months but it has been just over 6 years.  

We ideally would like to live in this property for 1.5-3 years cash out at about 10K - 15k and then make the jump to a more expensive multifamily home, duplex, or triplex which we can rent out.Any thoughts on this strategy or suggestions on alternative strategies?

Renovating our house with a toddler isn't ideal, but we're taking our time and doing what we can :) Good luck!

I'm the Xer trying to catch up on retirement, I don't have time to wait for the cycle to be ideal, so finding great deals is the only priority.
