We already own a primary residence and vacation home, so this will be seen as an investment property. 

I told my tax accountant that it should be considered as passive income to offset the passive loss from my rental property.

Looking for some guidance from either property management company owners/brokers or landlords that have 100+ units managed through property management software such as Buildium, AppFolio, Propertyware, etc.. 

Shortly after acquiring this 7-unit property, I ran into one of the tenant's who asked if I could replace her showerhead.

I have called 20 banks and no one does a 1st lien on investment properties except 1 stated they would if owner occupied.During the research I read a website, which stated that 1st lien HELOCS on non-occupied are illegal and not allowed by Federal Law.Anyone know if this is true?

It's pretty unlikely that you'll hit FI in 5 years unless you have paid off properties.

I'm wondering if any veteran on BiggerPockets has ever utilized their VA loan to secure any multifamily property ( specifically here in Los Angeles County), i'm familiar with the process but just wondering if anyone has ever done it.

My duplex units are almost identical.Also, after sold, my understanding is that, I can purchase only non owner occupant property via 1031 exchange, but I can purchase either owner or non owner occupant property via Sec 121 exclusion.

Real Estate investing and management of all my properties is all I do.

Once located, we acted quickly to secure the property for $10,000.
