I have my entire development team & my operating partner specializes in affordable ALF and combining Section 8 vouchers with Medicaid Waivers & VA entitlement funds to subsidize the cost to the residents. 

My favorite is to combine strategies like value add and multifamily.

Hi Brandon, I have been buying properties from a combination of cash out refinances and my helocs and then paying off my Helocs again with more cash out refinances. 

You could refi to consolidate, but you'll need to get to the point where the pay off number of the combined loans is <75-80% LTV.

It's simply:Gross Scheduled Rent (GSR)  - Vacancy (5%)  - Maintenance and CapEx (15% combined)  - Management (10%)  - Property Taxes  - Insurance=Monthly Cash Flow; I like to see $150-200/unit/month. 

We have a combined yearly income of around 150000 and current housing expense is 8500, no other debt payments.Below a summary of the numbers:Our financial situation:- paid off home: 340000- property tax+insurance: 8300- Income: 150000- No other debt- 30000 in cash (not emergency fund), but would rather leave this invested in stocksRental properties:- Price: 140000- Repair: 20000- Value after repair: 170000- property tax + insurance: 7500- cash flow positive in year oneSome financing estimates I received:- HELOC: 289000 max @ 3.68%- Home equity loan (30Y): 289000 max @ 2.99%, closing costs 8257 - Equity loan 15y (non mortgage style) 289000 @ 3.99% fixed 240$ setup cost- Mortgage 20% down 30y: 3.99%I realize this is not a short and direct question, but I'm hoping that one of you experts could give me some guidance and advice. 

I’m looking to take advantage of the VA loan for our next PCS/move and combine it with house hacking.

I am currently purchasing a 6 unit complex in the heart of Tempe near the ASU campus. 4 of the units are 2/1's with the other 2 being 1/1's I'm thinking on combining the 2, 1 bedrooms unit ( the are right next to each other) and adding an additional bedroom thus creating a 3/2 which will bring in an addition 9k yearly in revenue if we kept the units as is.

They eventually also want to buy their 1st primary residence down the line using the first time FHA home buyer programs.The girlfriend wants to use her credit to buy their 1st investment property.The boyfriend wants to use his credit to buy their 2nd investment property.Down the line, they both want to use their combined credit to purchase their 1st primary residence using FHA loan.In this scenario, can they use conventional financing for investment properties, and still have the option to use first time home buyer FHA loan down the line ? 

What is a realistic estimated annual amount to budget for marketing if I plan on a combination of Direct Mail, email blasts, SMS, lawn/hanger signage, Website and SEO?
