Some deals in this environment might not survive a HM loan with an inexperienced flipper.Do some searches here on BP to enhance your knowledge, there are many articles and posts searching for Hard Money, Private Money, etc.

@Asif BaigHi Asif, I really like Craig curelop’s book, it is really incredible how much information is in it.

A tenant evicted for missed payment will find it difficult to obtain good housing in the current rental environment. 

in being my first investment adventure, I thought everyone in my family (wife, daughter and son-in law, even my parents) could see what an incredible opportunity this was.

I hope everyone is doing incredibly well.

We are unfamiliar with the harsh winters and my wife is a little worried about ownership in this environment.

Should I look to get into a deal sooner and go with a SFH or should I wait and look for a good MFH deal- taking into consideration the developing financial environment. 3) I planned on using my VA Loan towards a quadplex and I think I could justify this in Tampa as that is where I will be moving in under a year and I would likely rent 3 while holding the other as legitimately my home with internet and utilities set up for when I am in the states on business.

I'd caution to take it a little bit slow in this COVID environment. 

I'm rarely surprised at tenant's thought processes and actions, but this one is incredible. 

I got a lot of responses but I decided to take the house off the market to get a feel for how bad tenants can behave in the current environment.
