(3/20)c) Purchase one <16 unit multifamily with whichever available credit type is most appropriate (3.i) - either moving to the address on closing or renting something cheap in-town depending on whether or not the lender allows owner occupation.d) Move to full-time REI, or part time if cash flow does not support growth.e) Exit plan would depend on cash flow, regional trends, and the characteristics of the loan and future financial market and cannot yet be assessed properly.
