You may be able to do a commercial style loan and put multiple units in it, but most banks will stay away from multiple units in a complex like this.

With the experience that you have, and assuming your PFS looks somewhat decent, I would place you into one of our Line of Credit style programs, that you would only need to qualify for once per year, worse case scenario, and you'll have up to $5M+ CASH, depending on what you personally qualify for, and you wouldn't have to answer any "qualifying" questions until it's time to renew the Line.

I'm looking for older ranch style homes ... the weather is not right for outside work right now. thanks for your fascinating report.

For example, they might recommend a particular tile or flooring and you could ask for a lower priced product that still meets your criteria for quality and style. 

It's the minimalist life style.

Reston homes fit in categories and you can almost always tell simply by looking at them....there are the late-60s through the 70s style, the 80s was different, then the 90s, then 2000s.

(I think up to 1200 sf has to do with density and Environmental issues from the state for adding more people incrementally, this gets wonky...)You are allowed 700 sf max if you have a 6,000 sf lot. 

Or maybe you can support yourself, but want a higher level life style than your income supports.

All high priced cities should be doing dense transit oriented midrise development, but the leafy suburban style neighborhoods say no, even as they complain about affordability.

There are a lot of different styles.
