Also, I know it all depends on the deal, but a few of my options are: MFH (maybe 4 plex) in low/low middle class central Phoenix SFH in a nicer area in phoenixDuplex/condo in Lake Havasu to attempt for vacation rentalsSo those of you who wouldn't mind sharing your advice I would GREATLY appreciate any!

This would all depend on finding the deals though, as that is the hardest part.

Depending on the market if you did that with all quadplexes you could be at 16 doors in 4 years (not including traditional investment properties you may have aquIred) with a total of $0 in downpayments its an under used loophole in the system.

for me its usually depending upon the situation.......u kinda got to feel them out and see if theres an underlying issue at hand....but yea never more than 3 business days......but you can tell whos stalling.

It depends on a few variables.

You are both entitled to your full entitlement amount (somewhere around $400k+ depending on the area) and you can reuse it or have multiple loans at a time up to that value as long as each is your primary residence for a year.
