Strategy is to continue to using the BRRR method, but I am doing it using my VA benefits which allow me to purchase for zero down no PMI.  

The idea is to house hack in a rural area that I could develop down the road and transition from once the lot is fully built up.

My local power company has a program where they can lower power consumption to a property(ies) to prevent the grid going down during high power usage surges. 

How about “ I know the multi family market data well and its a great time to buy rentals because interest rates are above 7% for 30 year mortgage and people don’t have 20% down payment to avoid PMI for lower monthly payments.

It is the best way to break into REI IMO.VA financing is about as good as it gets in the financing world right now; generally better terms and rates and you can take advantage of 0% down.

Prices aren't coming down, but there are also hardly any buyers, and inventory is very low.

You wouldn't need a pure commercial mortgage, you can do LLCs with DSCR loans, which are pretty similar to conventional loans, just more investor friendly: can do LLCs, qualify off property income not personal income, 20% down and 30 year term5.

I'd definitely shake the wholesaler down, let them know to tap out on it.

Which is why they’ll pay $5,000 for someone to show them how much interest they “save” by paying down their mortgage faster.  50 years ago Jimmy Napier wrote “invest in Debt”.  

He stated that it was inherited down to him.
