Hello,Trying to get an idea of the best sources (lenders) for lowest origination fees and lowest APR for fixed rate loans on 6+ unit multifamily.Thanks!

How much money do you have saved or how do you plan on financing and/or buying a first property?

The combination of these tools will give you a good idea on what you can expect. 

Use resources such as TSP (Thrift Saving Plan) or military benefits so that you can save up money and invest it wisely.

Pros: You save on sales fees etc, and don't pay capital gains.

While many people my age are barely surviving, or still living at home, I took huge risks, saved diligently, read everything I could get my hands on.

We both are drawn to either single family long term rentals, or STR’s in the right locations.Right now we have $20k cash available for immediate investment, with the ability to increase that to $60-70k in the next 3 years through savings and bonuses at our day jobs.

I'm open to any and all thoughts and ideas. 

The unit was wrecked but I was sold a rehab project that would be much more expensive so that the unit could be converted into a bigger living space; the idea being that we could get more rent out of it (close to $1200 vs. $800/mo).The rehab was supposed to take ~ 3mo.

This was actually my bankers idea once upon a time.
