There's a few different ways to focus on a lower rate such as with house hacking and making the investment your primary residence, requesting a significant closing credit from the sellers for standard rate buy-downs (which I've had great success with recently), or utilizing lenders who offer short term rate lowering solutions such as 2-1 rate buy downs (again, ideally paid for by the sellers).

While flips don’t usually qualify for 1031 exchanges, holding a property as a rental first might open this option.

They are mocking these up with interest only loans and factoring back in the tax deduction as if you qualified for the tax benefits of a real estate professional and factoring in the diminished first year property tax (since its not a full year).

It has to be your primary residence to be able to use your VA loan.

To me, I would just accept Zelle and update Avail if possible and look to see what the tenant is looking for in terms of repairs, how much rent you'll get from them, and if you want them as a resident.

It will also allow you to pull some cash out if you have the equity and for tax purposes.You can have two VA loans at the same time but having two means that the second home may not qualify for 100%.

I am renting two units (1 basement and 1 side unit) in my primary residence.

I'm a passive investor and these properties are in a different state than I reside in so I'm not there in person often.
