I and my partner- we are currently looking at a property with a 2family structure on it.

I've finally got my desired niche picked as multi-family units and methods I want to use (thanks bigger pockets podcast for all the ideas) and ready to set sail and this real estate adventure. 

It's a completely different process for appraising, loan origination, and ownership structure between residential and commercial.Commercial is based off income the property produces, residential is based on comparable nearby properties.

They'll find out the structural situation of the property.You and the seller renegotiate the situation know all the pros/cons of the property.Assuming the deal is still a GO, go to closing.Ta-da, you now own an investment property!

Aside from the student loans (a separate little loan from every quarter or semester) I used the snowball method like Dave Ramsey teaches.

Or just go with the SFH method and rent out rooms if you don't mind roommates. 

You can usually comp properties out yourself, but you need to know if there are any major structural problems. 2) I would consult a local attorney to ensure you are considering all applicable laws (usury, registrations etc.)3) This is up to you.

I am having a little bit of trouble refinancing a property I own and hoping someone has run into this before.I invested in an over/under duplex 2 years ago and did the BRRRR method.

The method I mentioned will work.

In this case, am I able to use a partnership, LLC or some other kind of structure to raise outside capital while using a VA loan?
