Do a lot more Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I am a current restaurant owner who is looking to become eventually full time real estate investor.

I am beginning by real estate journey with purchasing my first multi-family home to rent out to section 8. 

Credit unions are not in the mortgage business - so on unique situations including househacks you may be more likely to come across issues during the process.Either way, once you have a property under contract, speaking with various lenders will give you the best idea. 

Looking to buy a brand new house 2023 price is reasonable and charging 0.8-1% of purchase price is do able..my question is financing real estate but my first property is almost paid off and has been an uninterrupted rental for 7 years thankfully 90% paid off, cash is tight...could take out loan against CC at 4% flat to pay off house then maybe leverage paid off rental (private mortgage)?

Being that I have my own property and feel I have a lot of basic knowledge on Real Estate I wanted to make sure she is protected when she sells the property. 

That leaves $625/month for utilities (utlilities are real expensive in San Diego) and furnishings.  

I'd like to free up some cash so that I'm ready to close on the next great real estate deal that I track down.
