In May of 2016 I purchased my first property from my landlord who owns multiple properties.Got a great deal.He owner financed the home to me.Home Price $186,000Down Payment 40,0007% Interest2 Year BalloonPre-payment Penalty: 6 month of interestThe house is now worth $300,000Heres where I need some sound advice!

It sounds like "snap flipping" is basically "bird dogging" . 

Sorry but this is what you need to hear. it sounds like you need more experts in your corner.

And of course there are other factors involved with this but having all that money and looking for a better deal after you just purchased a 4 plex with nothing down sounds pretty good to me rather than a refinance.

Charlie.In central Maryland that does sound weird.

If you aren't set on buying locally (sounds like you're not), then you can just pick what feels better and has the better numbers. - Residential rental properties (1-4 units) are the most tax-benefited asset class available. - Residential vs. commercial in general: This is a a crazy-basic article, but might trigger some pros and cons thoughts for you on which to go- https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/5-SFRs-or...- Ultimately, what would you most enjoy buying?

I know I may sound ambitious, but I know everyone on this forum has to have big dreams and vision otherwise you wouldn't be interested in real estate investing at all. 

Sounds easy enough but the bank doesn't want to play along since this is now an investment property.  

It sounds like you have already started with the podcasts. 

I don't know Vancouver or Camas at all but it sounds like people are finding some good deals there!
