If looking in PFE, be sure your property is unique.

After a certain number of calls to the same property within an annual period, the city starts charging my company per call (~$250/call).

What you are referring to is the fact that your property taxes are generally due in November.

I was excited when i first saw the properties and have been waiting in the wings ever since hoping it wouldn’t go through as I can’t find anything else quite like it and the aim is I will be living in 1 and house hacking.

I told my tax accountant that it should be considered as passive income to offset the passive loss from my rental property.

We already own a primary residence and vacation home, so this will be seen as an investment property. 

@Michelle Nevarez, the most common way people get started is through house hacking.You could use your VA loan to buy a property for yourself to live in.  

Looking for some guidance from either property management company owners/brokers or landlords that have 100+ units managed through property management software such as Buildium, AppFolio, Propertyware, etc.. 

I'm wondering if any veteran on BiggerPockets has ever utilized their VA loan to secure any multifamily property ( specifically here in Los Angeles County), i'm familiar with the process but just wondering if anyone has ever done it.

It's pretty unlikely that you'll hit FI in 5 years unless you have paid off properties.
