20% down on a Conventional bank loan.

20% down on a Conventional bank loan.

Would I have to refinance to a conventional loan at this point?

I will be using a combination of VA loans and conventional loans to get started with multi-family residential and eventually multi-family commercial properties.

In my market, I typically recommend buyers use the 5% down conventional loan for their first deal if at all possible.

@Michael Almeida on conventional market you need 2 y employment history unless you are a recent grad.

Conventional Lessons learned?

They hold the inventory close and the good deals rarely sell outside of their grasp :)Good luck! 

Part private money and part conventional financing Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I found having conventional  loans on my rentals that were reported to fico ( had 12 to 14 of them at one time) those really kept my fico down.. did not affect me in business but it did affect me trying to get the very best rate on my owner occ home / homes through the years .. now that I have sold all but one my credit shot up 100 points to high 700s  first time ever.. and well I don't need it now since I am aggressively paying off ALL my long term liabilities.
