Just purchased a SFH with a conventional loan and 20% down.

The first thing you need to do if you are planning to keep the home for a long-term rental is get approved for the take-out conventional loan first.

I am pretty confident that I have enough equity to refinance out of the VA loan into a conventional loan so that I can reuse my VA loan to get into another property.

My mortgage lender is telling me that we would have to put 30% down on a conventional loan to purchase a multi-family even if it will be owner occupied.

I have a pre approval for a conventional loan at the moment but I would like to know what things do you look for when seeking out a hard money loan?

I'm going to digital entry (four students, they lose keys a LOT) and smart home features (like turning off the HVAC when doors and windows are open because students are apparently idiots and do, in fact, air condition the whole darn neighborhood), plus a few exterior cameras. 

Got another quick question: I’m still not fully set on if I want to house hack a larger multi family or get a single family on a conventional loan and rent out.

If the seller admits home has foundation issues and is willing to negotiate concessions would that automatically cancel conventional financing?

I am wondering if this can be a solution for investors with more than 10 investment properties.They claim that "The property’s cash flow may be utilized for investment properties in lieu of conventional methods".
