Any affordability red flags, like high loan payments?

FHA Loan.

@Matt DornakWhat is the specifics- If it’s selling a property to buy another there could be programs that work but other than that, no owner occupied loan to delay financing

However, when I purchase the home it was being used as a single family, therefore, the loan I currently have is for a single family.- When I bought the house, I renovated the apartment and it is currently being rented out.- My question is do I do a cash out refinance or take out a HELCO (the mortgage broker I used originally advised that)?

Scenario:I have about 8 months left and am looking to finance a duplex using my VA home loan, with the intent of house hacking it..

According to our understanding of the VA home loan guidelines, a property can be up to 4 units, and mix use is allowed so long as the property will be the buyer’s primary residence and the the commercial use is subordinate to the residential use comprising no more than 25% of the property space.

So, I figured that posting a VA Home Loan Benefits - Information and More.

But as an aside, crime stats online, when you have never been to an area, aren't going to be very relevant.

Hey BP family,I am new to real estate investing but would love some experts insights so I don't get burned on my first dealThis is the property: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/724-N-22nd-Ave-Bozeman-MT...My thoughts are my wife, 8 month old and I could live in Unit A for a year or two while we rent out Units B & C to help cover the mortgage payments until we build/buy a more desirable family ranch home with min 10+ acres which we've been looking for but have yet to find.My hesitation is I've never been a landlord and am reluctant to get in over my head with property problems while simultaneously growing an online business and being a new father.After some negotiation we counter offered 895k with a 2-1 rate buy down for 20k and the sellers have verbally accepted but since our offer expired we need to resubmit.

Those are tougher construction loans to get than for investors
