Assuming you have equity and you qualify for a conventional Fannie/Freddie loan then yes you can.You should also call the small local banks and credit unions in your area as they can be more competitive.

Flying off the handle about something relatively small, I couldn't imagine what it would of been like having them live there.As others posted here.

@Matt K.Mostly small medical bills but also utilities and jewelry, one of them did have 2 car loans super late.

I’d probably share in your concern in the single-family or small multi space, where the principals of the management company might also be the ones showing units, taking calls from prospects and making leasing decisions.In the large multi space, they probably wouldn’t steer residents to properties owned by the management company.

Anybody will be ok with that because they don’t pay to have you around.If you’re just doing it for yourself I’d go find a small fee based brokerage.

@Christopher Veljkovic My end goal is to own a couple of large multi family residential properties, however I plan to start small but definitely with 5+ units.

In addition, my parents and I started a small frozen custard store back in 2016 which I love running (and eating.... maybe to much!?) 

Something as small as bad lighting can turn buyers away.

@Aron Fredrix head on over to https://www.biggerpockets.com/webinars there is a webinar this evening about how to buy small multifamily properties that I believe will be a big help for you.

My goal right now is to pay off my student loans over the next 6-8 months, then start investing in single-family or small multi-family properties.
