My husband and I have an opportunity to purchase a single-family rental portfolio in our out-of-state investing market that is owner-financed.

If you go the AirBnB route just make sure you go all in - don't skimp on furnishings, design and amenities - so give yourself enough room to purchase these items.

John,You only need to put 15% down on a Multifamily investment purchase even up to 4 units. 

You should have installed a new one when you purchased the property.

Prior to Covid I had a lot of luck renegotiating purchase prices based on problems in the inspection.

I'm looking at purchasing a small multifamily (2plex, 3plex or 4plex) as an owner occupied using a VA loan.

I'm no tax advisor by any stretch, but I believe there's significant financial criteria to meet such as like 50% of the purchase value needs to be added as improvements to the property. 

@Jake Berlin- thanks ...I would recommend getting a loan approval  started  using a hypotehtical purchase price and loan amt ...This will allow you to get  organized/ educated and  prepared  and many of your questions will be  answered - good luck

@Yongming Huang again the buyer IS paying both commissions, in the financing of the purchase.

It will be just over 90 days from signed purchase and sales agreement to closing date.
