Then your best bet are probably community banks which have more flexibility (albeit worse terms) than larger banks and also worth looking into are DSCR lenders.

Quote from @Brian Burke: @Chris Seveney when I started my lending company with two partners our aim was to go from $0 to $2.5M per month. 

If you're looking to scale and take full advantage of house hacking, look for a property on the larger end of the spectrum, ideally 4 units.

If I can replace the bathtub with a shower, I'd be able to make the bathroom feel larger.  

I will be quick to admit I have only had experiences with small rentals (6 units and smaller) so if you are looking for help on larger apartment complexes I would not be a great resource.

I like this company.. among a few others in the syndication space.. 

Are you set on starting with a larger property, or would you be open to beginning with something smaller to build experience?

@Mickey Petersen I would 1031 exchange into a larger better cash flowing property or whatever gives you a leg up on your wealth building.

(larger would require fire sprinklers). 

There are a lot of things that can come up on a flip so easing your way into things and working your way up to larger rehab budgets, etc is recommend.
