Purchase a Multifamily property were you occupy one of the units.

Neither you nor certain family members could occupy the property.

The VA loan you can do 0% down on a 1-4 unit owner occupied property.

I would eventually like to do another 203K renovation in a 3-4 unit property, in which I would owner occupy the new property.

Purchase price: $90,000Current Rent: $900/moMarket Rent: $1200 - $1300This property is currently occupied by a month to month tenant at $900/mo.

20% down on a cheaper property thats an investment loan in Baltimore is going to be more money than 3% down on an owner occupied loan in Silver Spring.And dont let Baltimores proximity to DC blind you to the differences in those markets.

You have a lot of issues to ponder and do diligence on:1) Is the home legal to move and re-occupy (is it pre-HUD)?

Your job sits where the new purchase is owner occupied, you have a lease and deposit for the old house, you are going up in value. 

The storefront is approximately 1,920 sqft and is currently occupied by the building owner and is running a tattoo business out of it.

Buy your next owner occupied house, add value, move in a couple of roomies.
