The VA home loan can be a powerful tool for purchasing a multi-family property, offering benefits like no down payment and competitive interest rates.

You can offset this with points.When the lenders provides you with an estimate of the loan along with all the charges pay specific attention to:Origination fee - This is whereLoan Points - Sometimes they force you to buy a point and they bring down your rate in returnapplication feeunderwritting feeBasically you want to compare how much you are paying in all of these and what interest rate they are giving you based on this costs.

Great place to live -- not so much when there is little to no leverage to purchase my own home, burn rate goes very quickly, or perhaps I don't know enough.I follow Brandon Turner, BiggerPockets, Grant Cardone and have attended both his Real Estate and Sales & Marketing talks.I would like to get into real estate to one day either purchase or build my own Home Recording Studio.

For real estate specifically, it depends, in many instances an LLC is not required but ok as long as done properly (properties are bought in LLC and not bought and mortgaged in your name and transferred). 

Hi, I'm wondering with the market like is right now, high interest rate and just having $30k cash and having a regular mortgage.

The catch is, my current interest rate on the conventional is 2.87% and I'm positive it will nearly triple if I refinance with a DSCR so it's a tough decision.

Much is going to depend on the amount of the house that will be used and allocated strictly for business. 

They seem to have a good business model and one of the owners is an investor himself which is definitely a plus, but they charge a leasing fee (to find and get a qualified tenant into the property) equal to 1 month of rent, which comes out to an additional 4%-8% on top of the monthly 10% maintenance/management fee depending on how long the tenant stays.

@Cody Zucker I talk to a few people to get a sense of the rate in each market.

Used a loan broker, then refinanced at a lower rate fixed for 10 years after 1 year.
