Hi, I wanted to get the opinion of the forum if this is something that investors would be interested in. I

Last comment on the owner occ side of this is that with reset values and super low interest rates I suspect in median price range of owner occs in much of the country their mortgage payments and all in is LESS than market rents today.Other risk is rents going down.  

If that is the ease you are interested in, I have no idea.  

Let's say you had a client that wants to buy a new house because they live in is a dump. 

Depending on your situation, best way in is to house hack a duplex or SFR with an AirBnB angle (present craziness aside).In terms of next steps, get yourself an underwriting template and practice evaluating deals you see on the MLS.  

It was managed by a property management company that took a very hands-off approach and let the work being done be subpar and with the owners not being local they did not have a clue the condition the property was in. I

I know this NEW COVID-19 world we live in is changing the landscape.. hopefully you get the project completed and tenant paying rent sooner than later. 

Has anyone been in this situation or has experience with a similar scenario who could weigh in? I

Is there a way to refinance both of them into one loan that is not a VA loan so that I can have my full entitlement to purchase a house in the state I'm currently in?I

Defintely a different time we are living in. I
