But that doesn't mean they wont come available. though.

Are there less expensive options you can take that wont cost $200,000?

Like any new friendships you dont know which will last and which one wont.

I see a lot of foreclosures going on and I just want to make sure I can identify what situation I'm faced with so I wont act like a bumbling idiot.

They probably wont know where they have seen it, they will just find the name to be familiar to them.

if they wont give you a copy , simply call or write the tenant and ask them for a copy , offer them a couple of dollars if need be .

Its better to find out what will be allowed than the spend time attracting tenants that wont get approval later.Beyond that, some markets are becoming centralized, meaning a collection of one service or retail segment.

This type of stuff can destroy family relationships for generations.Sometimes it is wiser to pass on an opportunity to possibly make money over family considerations.

It will probably be wiser to get a 4 family so I can use the FHA loan and wont have to use all my savings.

I'm concerned the VA wont allow me to use the loan for purchasing multifamily properties for investment purposes.
