My wife and I have made several offers on multifamily houses recently but keep being beaten out by (lower) cash offers.

I have 3 of my houses with 2 different PM's. 

Hello Everyone,I was wondering if someone who knows the ins and outs of bank mortgages knows if you can use an FHA loan with a friend to house hack a multi-family home?

I don't believe you can buy a house in an LLC with a VA loan.

Hello, I am looking to buy my first investment property, I am a contractor so renovating or finishing out a property that isn't 100% turnkey is not a problem.

Buy property and hold onto it forever.If you listen to YouTube gurus that tell you to borrow money from other people, max out credit cards, or that you can buy 50 houses in one year, then you get what you deserve.

SBA loans feature favorable terms, such as low down payments and longer repayment periods, and are partially guaranteed by the SBA, reducing the lender's risk.SBA 504 Loans: Another SBA program, the 504 loan program, provides financing for the purchase, construction, or renovation of owner-occupied commercial real estate or heavy equipment.

Max we could get after renovations to 2 of the units would be about $1800-$2000/mo.

I just listed a 3br house for rent.

First, I'd recommend getting to know what different avenues you have such as wholesaling, buy and hold, developing, "house-hack", etc and seeing what you're comfortable with.
