Right now from the little bit of research I've done so far, I'd like to house hack a property using a FHA 203k loan if possible as a start to my goal of financial freedom.

@Logan Ellingson Excel, no sense using a paid version  of anything with only one property.

I understand that I could borrow against my equity using a home equity loan or a heloc.

@Nico MurilloI'm using a local CPA for our tax planning and prep. 

I feel like I should be focusing on operating the 8 units I have efficiently by keeping my current tenants and protecting my capital and being patient I would have been using a hard money lender (80% LTV, 10%, 1yr loan term) to acquire and then begin renovations and raising rents to market. and then do a VA cashout refinance or FHA and move into one of the units. so my risk is if the property will not hold its value or go down and I cant refinance and/or if my new tennat base will be able to afford the new rents ($950).My gut is telling me to stay liquid and see how this plays out but there's this FOMO (fear of missing out) side that thinks this will blow over and I won't have a deal.

Are you using a traditional bank or a hard money lender?

On the other hand, Virginia courts have suspended accepting any new eviction cases until April 26, 2020 as well.I plan on using a lawyer to see through the whole eviction process but we all know they are a business themselves so my question is, should I even bother starting to attempt to evict him with the lawyer on the basis for violating the lease agreement for his waste/failure to main the premises clause or should I just wait until May 1, 2020 and hope courts are open then and serve him for being a holdover tenant or try evicting him for both?
