Why wouldn't you use your VA loan to buy a 2-4 family property?

However city is imposing a good amount ofimpact fees based on the bedroom count - which accounts to close to $40 k , which i cannot afford- Ibought the house for myself to reside and cannot afford to pay this.We verified with city prior to buying and theyconfirmed it is residential zoned , however never mentioned about any impactfees.It is residential zone - MLS shows it as 3 bedroom 2baths - it had a extra unit  in the back and also a inbuilt rolling bed on 1st floor for the main I am stuck here- they are asking to prove it was usedas a residential -ever - any guidance would be appreciated on this.

Low comps, low chance to resell (cold/cool market), overblown ARV?

What are the disadvantages of buying a 2-story duplex? 

@Dulce DavisSome private firms would consider blankets but they are gonna cost 2x traditional financingI would take the one with no mortgage and leverage that to buy another and keep doing that - also once in a while may consider selling some inventory to get more cash

You should consider learning about house hacking, BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat) and group home investing, I feel.

I'm also looking heavily into Laporte, I feel buy and holds in Duneland and rehabs in Laporte are my focus right now.

Hi, I'm interested in buying properties outside of my area (South Florida). 

I am debating if I should buy a decently priced home in Florida using a mortgage, rent it out as soon as possible, and have a tenant(s) pay down my mortgage until I am ready to move in and have the mortgage either paid down or nearly paid down.

So, go ahead and find a cheaper vendor - guarantee you can find one.But, most won't be licensed and insured to protect you from lawsuits.Oh, and what do you think your chances are of getting a cheap vendor to come back and fix something under warranty?
