If you're buying as an owner occupant, your interest rate will be about 1% lower, so you'd be closer to 35% down.But with low risk real estate investments you typically have an appreciating asset, and high rent growth.But if you are buying with a VA loan with 0% down the reality is 100% leverage, it will take many years and interest rate drops to get to break even.

In your opinion it would be best to look for houses for sale by the owner?
