Yes you can buy properties extremely cheap there but the flipside is that once yoI've rehabbed them, recouping your rehab and purchase money will prove difficult because of the low property values .  

Or put in specific provisions such as if one partner wants to sell, then it is an automatic sale (maybe allow current partners to have first option to purchase, etc.).

For rental real estate purchases, should I be working with a buyer's agent with a strong background in investment real estate?

The only way you can cure rental housing shortfalls is to create enough new supply to reduce prices of existing units, drive down the price of purchasing housing for rental purposes such that more is bought, or for government to create and manage the supply itself.

I am interested in purchasing duplex, triplex, fourplex.

Hello, I currently have 2 rental properties in upstate NY and I am looking to purchase more in the near future.

She wasn't sure where I can purchase those forms.

Alternative way could be purchasing this property with normal conventional rehab loan, which is a standard 30 year fixed loan + rehab funds being funded up to 95% LTV.

To provide some background here, my wife and i recently purchased a triplex that has an existing 500 sq.ft attached storage unit (conditioned space) and a detached 5-car garage.

I am looking to use a VA loan to get a house but want to purchase a rental property and get started on getting cashflow.
