Our growing multifamily investment firm has an opportunity available for somebody ready to roll up their sleeves and learn the RE business from the inside with some paid, hands-on experience.Primary Contributions-Leasing-Turnovers/Make-Ready-Building/Contractor Inspections-Maintenance (contractor scheduling and/or direct resolution)Once a proven track record is established, you will be brought into deal reviews, financing, acquisitions and all other aspects of the business.This is a paid opportunity and working hours are very flexible. 

Then I would think I have more flexibility to my use - whether I want to do airbnb, or a long term rental of either the main floor or basement.Also, it is near a military base, about 30 minutes away, not sure a long term rental to someone on base would be more worthwhile than airbnb.Sorry this was so long!

These loans are a lot more flexible than "conventional" loans.

Guess it depends on how flexible you can be. 

If it's important to the seller to get the highest asking price possible, offer that you can do that if they can be flexible on terms (downpayment, interest rate, loan term, etc).If no longer being a landlord will cause them to miss monthly income, offer that you can provide income in the form of loan payments and back into the numbers from there. 

It also allows for the most flexibility in floor plans.

Your best bet would be to look at smaller credit unions or banks who would have more flexible loan guidelines.

@Adam KuszczakIf you're firm on moving out of the property in 2-5 years you could run into issues if the market takes a turn.Timing is everything and flexibility will save you.

A patient one that is proactive in answering your questions and has flexible loan products to fit your needs.

I agree with Henry's point about having the flexibility to combine units for one user because of the clear heights.
