This is a very broad question. 

Quote from @John Williams: I would only support this because it's California where electric cars are most likely to be mandated and used.

I do this because I feel I can over the long run attract and KEEP better tenants LONGER.

Purchase price: $245,000 Cash invested: $50,000 This was our primary residence that we are lived in for 6 years while we fixing up and renovating. 1963 farmhouse that was outdated and loads of half a$$ work and deferred maintenance.

I do fix and flips and take the money to invest as a General Partner on a syndication team.

Hey Ismael, When structuring seller finance deals, you essentially give a bit more on the purchase price but get good terms.

Its great you have the construction experience to back you up but good luck on depending on this to consistently provide.

I am on an H1B visa and new to rental properties.

They're assigned locally by the AHJ, so it can vary from place to place.

Hi @Douglas Alexander, I've used the VA loan many times, but never for MFR.You can't use it for more than a 4-unit building, so 1-4 is OK, 5 or more... nope.Great plan though to house-hack it.Let me know how your research turns out ref. building from scratch.Could be an interesting idea... build like a 3/2 for your family and 3 more smaller units.Then when you move out, you can rent the 3/2 for more obviously and could earn some good cash flow.
