I already have a couple single family homes as rentals and would like to expand my portfolio more later on. 

I'm interested in BRRRR's with single and multi family.

Hello,I am looking for information on down payment assistance (grant not a loan) for a property I have an accepted offer on in New Bedford MA, It is a 3 family and I am a first time home buyer.

All great responses to your question, and completely agree with everyone above.I have 2 properties in HOAs and the barrier to entry was substantially lower in my market than a single family home not in an HOA.

My family and I would live in one of the units in order to be able to do this, and there would be an additional 3 units in order to get the full amount of the FHA loan. 

These are people who fighting cancer, had a death in the family, or otherwise are in a bad situation. 

Hello everyone,Say I own a single family home that I rent out.

Hey Wayne,In the DSCR space, most lenders would treat 3 units (2-4 unit) within the same classification as a 'Single Family' DSCR with maybe a small increase in rate, but your leverage options should be about the same (20% down).

Skiers need space for their gear, families will want kid friendly activities. 

And I am looking to be the borrower but I don't want to get any private friends or family lenders in trouble.
