I am concerned I'll settle for less and have to live with my poor choice to be poor.Thanks.

You can also control some of the vacancy issues through location choices, capital improvements, and marketing.

As a veteran, you have this choice to make.I would suggest considering both options once you've identified your property.

If you choose to quit before the final shot which hits the mark, that's your choice: you choose to fail!

No allowing borrower to put second position loans behind you... this creates issues if you have to call the note.. you cant take a deed in Lui if you have a second and they won't release so it forces you to the full foreclosure process.LTVs are personal choice.. if I like my guy or gal and have tons of experience I can do 100%  no problem but I get paid handsomely for being their money partner not just HML rates.but for this post as low as LTV as will make the deal work is what you want.You want borrower to have some skin in the game ( unless as stated you have a multi year track record with our borrower).. the more the betterPoints and rates..

I have reached out to a broker via loopnet as an attempt to take initiative to ask for deals as they may come up, but from the looks of it it seems like my choices will be mostly between SFH vs duplex and MAYBE a triplex.I can find many other multifamily units outside of my living radius where I will be looking into after my first purchase to live within a property.

I made this less sleep choice only because I felt I could not be anymore productive in the amount of hours I was awake.

When you decide to list the property and start the process of staging, marketing, and telling the world about your shiny new home, reach out and I will be happy to share all of my thoughts and how to best position yourself to make the best choice.  

MyPay allotments are not my first choice but some people really like them.

But in this scenario in towns like Quincy (or first choice) or Dorchester/Eastie etc., my model shows us not cash-flowing at all (we'd still need to put in ~$1000 per month, which is much better than what we pay in rent currently, but still).
