BUT you can mitigate that by buying outside of an HOA and a newer home which will give you more affordable insurance. 

I am buying an eight unit complex.

Contacted the landlord and they’ve said garage door would need to replaced entirely.

When I buy or sell my personal residence, I ALWAYS use the top agent in the area.  

It depends on the number of properties you want to buy.

That means if you and another veteran apply for a VA mortgage together you can build or buy a property with as many as “six family units (the basic four units plus one unit for each of the two Veterans), and one business unit.”)My Take:I interpret this as possibly a mixed use building with 6 residential units and one business unit like a restaurant or coffee shop down stairs.

If you get a mortgage, the lender will want to check surveys, appraisals, and title issues, things that don't always happen when buying owner financed.
