Hey Everyone!
I just launched an app that helps real estate investors find homes in their area. It does all those tedious "back of the envelope" calculations for listings within 50 miles of your city and refreshes it...

An example problem statement that I may have stated (and built the software for) in 2003, when I started investing full time: Build a tool for lead generation that collects county records from the county recorder's office (and property card data), finds the recent first mortgage defaults  from trustees websites or public filings for properties that are between 1000 and 1700 square feet, in a neighborhood of 90% like-kind properties with greater than 20 parcels, houses built after 1978, that can cash flow at current rates when fully leveraged. 

Lesson learned pay others to do the time consuming labor.

And also can save a lot of time!

You can always take your time and find a primary residence, especially if you are living with parents. 

I hear horror stories about not being able to purchase fixer uppers with the VA loan but that wasn't my experience either time.

I would then plan to use this forced equity (since I plan to buy a fixer upper) to invest in another home.I have been constantly reading to househack right into the MFH, but this may take some time for me to acquire the money and purchasing power.

There was a short time in 2022 that DSCR loans were available to investors in PR. 

It sounds like what you're looking for is an equity partner - you will have a tough time finding someone to lend in 2nd position at 100% CLTV.
