For example you could get five 100k duplexes with conventional mortgages  using 100k from the Heloc as 20% down payments.

This duplex popped up and seems like a home run for my “criteria”.

I found a duplex we intend to house hack and fund with a VA loan for 0 money down and no PMI.

Prior to that I used a portfolio lender to finance under 20% down for a couple owner occupant duplexes.

Although I've looked (and made lots of offers), I didn't realize that it was a whole different ball game trying to secure a loan for a multi-family vs when I bought a condo as my primary residence.I was hoping for feedback on the terms below and if they seem reasonable?   

I've worked with quite a few Californians and New Yorkers buying $80k SFH rentals, $150k duplexes, $200k fourplexes, and $7M 160 unit apartments in our area.

My plan is to buy my first property which will probably be a duplex, rent out the other half until 2020 then move down south at that point and have the duplex fully rented and try and buy another property in Texas and do the same thing.

I've got a small condo in Abbotsford I'd like to sell in order to shift into other investments.

I'm curious to hear about your experience owning investment condos.

The last deal in high rise condos just went into escrow.
