Hi Kevin,If you can get your VA loan back by refinancing the one you have outstanding that might be a good option for you to take down 2-4 units.

Now you can imagine how this goes from here on out, but using similar numbers to the unit you have.  

Property Value: The DIY option is viable for properties with improvements under $1.2 million improvement value (acquisition cost minus land allocation), covering most 1-4 unit dwellings.

There are not many multi-family options available in my local area, and the ones that are available are overpriced or the current rent rolls are extremely below market average($200-$400 per unit).

I am a longtime landlord that has normally just rented my unit to individuals after I complete my normal background and credit checks. 

I'm interested in a 5-unit or larger for my next purchase, depending on any number of other factors.Happy to be here and looking forward to making great connections!

Again, I do not like being in a tenant's unit without them there -- it can open up a can of worms. 

Please share any great data sources you have found or tips on evaluating areas.My 1-year goal is to purchase 3 multi-family properties, with 8 to 40 units, at least $5000/month of initial cash flow, and some opportunities to improve operations and increase cash flow.I am hoping to forge alliances with like-minded investors to fund Win-Win deals.I am so excited that I have officially started my RE Investing journey!

I am negotiating a purchase of a mixed unit property (consisting of 4 residential units and 1 commercial space0.

Lake City is a rural area where families will purchase a piece of land then put several mobile homes on it so they can be close together.
