As the market crashes, I am assuming that the real estate market will follow in the next 1-3 years, and I would like to take advantage of the dip in real estate value.

If it’s the latter, are you resourced/ready to take advantage.

Nonetheless, if you have a recession proof job (i work in military contracting) you will have an advantage. 

MFR have a few big advantages: Economies of scaleLower per-unit priceReduced effort to manageOnce you go 5+ units you have the additional advantage of being able to force appreciation.

Also we have a really great rate on it and refi-ing would not be advantageous since when we refied a few years ago we were owner occupants and now it's an investment property so the rate would be higher.I ended up going with a HELOC through 1st Bank and should close this week.

No guarantees on this but closing a sale right now could be very advantageous to you.There are a number of Qualified Intermediaries like us here on BP. 

Does your license give you any advantages?

What are some advantages and/or setbacks involved in it?

This woman said things like "this listing agent is trying to take advantage of you, he knew better. 

When it comes to a VA loan and a high entry point, I consider that to be an advantage.
