My company Harmon Blue, is Lubbock's Real Estate Solutions company.

But is there any other solution to update them short of pulling them off the wall and rocking everything?

I think we can work something out since you reside in New Jersey.Gary

I recently purchased and moved into my primary residence on a nice quiet street filled with nothing but 3/1s to 3/2 townhouses.

Just one thing to keep in mind on using your VA loan, it must be used on your primary residence. 

And, of course, send the letter to the owner's residence, as well. 

When you say "highest multifamily", is that by count or % of total residences in the zip code? 

My primary thought for involvement with the LLC was to get access to sellers who would not qualify for investor deal, but may be interested in short sale listing (which must be done with the agent for bank to consider it), or some other solution.

There are no programs that allow less than 20% down on 2-4 unit purchases unless you are asking for an FHA loan for a primary residence.  

Although there are still challenges (as with most older towns) things have been steadily improving for many years now - most residents love the place and are excited about the many amenities & general direction of the area.I would love to find a local wholesaler or other sources of good deals - any suggestions on where to look?
