I bought a foreclosure in Jacksonville, NC for 35K using a VA loan with almost no money down.

I have previously made my own vanities by purchasing a buffet server and using a vessel sink and leftover granite from the kitchen project in the same house.

@Eugene @Eugene Lee, I am using a gentleman named Rodney Watkins in Coronado.

I'll be using a property management company, as well.Off the top of my head, the most obvious reason to choose multi is the greater rental income.  

I'm not that knowledgable about using "no amortization strategies" Have you factured in what the difference in interest rate would be using a HELOC verus a conventional mortgage?

I'm using a VA Loan but I'm getting stationed somewhere else temporarily and in the mean time i will be able to rent both sides. ( I understand that I have to live there) I appreciate your concern and your awesome feedback!

Hi,General question about prospective tenant screening for commercial space: If a new applicant comes in, and their business doesn't really have enough history to have a good background picture (e.g. new biz), is using a tenant screening service you'd normally use for regular rental screening a legitimate way to go?

@Ronald Perich Does using a bunch of different services add to the workload?

I'm looking at my first rental property and I will be using a property manager. 

I was looking at the seller financing option/rent to own as opposed to using a bank to purchase my first rental property because this way I don't have to put 20% down.
