@Rick Pinney, as of right now office, multi family, and industrial are most interesting to me.

Then go find those markets, camp out there, and execute the plan.What I just described above is my system that I do, and teach.  

It could be money in your 401k or TSP that you could borrow from, if the need were to arise.So, either Navy Federal has their own overlays (although people from the East Coast seem to use Navy Fed to finance multis) or the loan officer you're talking to doesn't know what they're talking about, which is pretty weird, considering they only serve military people.  

Morning Everyone,My wife and I know its possible to have two VA loans, but we dont know if we can purchase 2 multi-family units.

Can buy all materials for about 1.25 a ft.Another option is, armstrong and usg have a drywall syspension system that installs exactly as a suspended ceiling "drywall grid".

My plan right now is to purchase small multi-units, and holding them.  

Also zoning may be hard to come by - in NJ when I finished the basement in my SFH, it had to go through zoning approval to be sure I wasn't adding a kitchen and trying to make it a multi-family, since that area wasn't zoned for it.

Team I'm looking for help on putting together a deal with 3 multi family properties.  

3) Should I skip this step, and go right to larger multi-family units, partnering with other investors?

What im looking for is an industry standard or guide for multi family unit's net profit after all expenses including debt services.
