I plan to invest in the Hampton Roads area looking to purchase a 5-10 unit multifamily unit in the next 3 months !!!

AirDNA can provide some insights on data in the market you're planning to work in.

I tend to ask them what they plan on using the proceeds of the sale for and if they have thought about being the bank and making that interest themselves instead of a bank.

I plan on house hacking far as strategy and Im just looking forward to getting started.

Ultimately, everything unfolded according to plan, reaffirming the importance of perseverance and foresight in navigating complex real estate transactions.Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Since this is for 15 year life property or sooner, do you plan to hold the assets for that long or longer. 

My plan is to occupy the  property for a year (to utilize FHA), then rent it out and look for a new property. 

With that said, my plan would be to continue getting as much overtime as I can at work, living with my parents in the few days that I'm off work, and investing in rentals in lower cost, higher cash flowing markets.

I plan to get a rehab done my rent in Memphis.

Sorry to be this guy... but what a client hopes or expects is a product of poor or non-existent tax planning.
