The loan you originated still must be paid in full.

Factor in at least 40-50% of rents going to operating expenses.Financing: 30-year mortgages will have lower monthly payments than 15-year loans, increasing cash flow.

Notes - where the investor is the lender and you are loaning the sponsor money.

I’ll love to househack a multi family property (like a duplex) using the FHA loan program.

I currently have a VA loan on my primary residence.

so most people will have to be as leveraged as possible to scale (at the beginning). as in, keep your LTV high and focus on buying 'as much' ($$) RE as possible. this is if you're doing a pretty run of the mill REI strategy like buy and hold. i came across an interesting guideline once: if you could sell today and net 7x+ your annual true net cashflow, you should cash-out/refi, or sell/1031. think of it this way: if your portfolio in a year is worth 1m market value, and you owe 600k, and have a lender that will do a portfolio loan at 80% ltv, you could cashout refi and get 200k to play with (minus closing costs). when you compare the now-lower cashflow from the existing portfolio (higher LTV & maybe different rate), to what you can do with 200k cash, THAT'S where it gets fun. maybe you lose 1k/mo in cashflow on the original portfolio (literally just made up a number, idk), but you can gain 2500/mo in cashflow with that 200k.. then doing the cashout/refi earned you a net increase in your monthly profit of 1500/mo, plus you're getting debt paydown and appreciation on "more" real estate, probably getting bigger tax benefits, etc.

However, the rents are slightly lower and could potentially wipe out your monthly cashflows with one major repair.As for higher appreciation market like West/East Coast, it's more expensive, but rents are higher due to a strong labor market, there will be a certain amount of demand for those markets, but the downside is that you will need to be creative by adding more values for the property.

Hello all, I am reading on the real estate investing process and i plan to buy my first property with an FHA loan, however, as i am no one with any experience on rehabbing i have this concern of pricing.So when i find a property and get to the inspection part, i understand they find issues with the house, some which can be minor and others major.

Talk to a lender and find out (probably a couple of lenders).Ask here for lenders to DM you (they aren't supposed to DM without you asking them to).Remember, lenders want to loan money - they will work with you to figure what products they have that can work with your situation.
