I figured I could get better deals with an all cash deal and maybe take out a loan later when I am ready to expand my portfolio and hopefully rates will be better.

Seems logical to rent out my primary residence to eclipse viewers.But this is a one off event and won't happen again, so it wouldn't justify the yearly license fee for an STR.would like to gear drom experienced Austin STR folk on how to do this properly thanks

Bank loans or conforming loans may work for properties that are habitable and not in need of significant renovation.

I'm looking into buying my first multi-family property on an FHA loan.

Conventional loan How did you add value to the deal?

My DTI is a bit higher because I just graduated and have a decent amount of student loans. 

The problem is we bought the house through a VA loan and can’t transfer it to the business.

Even if you your loan payment hasn't increased, property taxes and insurance increase.

Some are geared toward niches like flipping, multi-family, landlording etc.

Thank youMC If you want to get into a multi-unit here in the Orlando area, you'll need to use a loan still as a duplex even in the worst part of town will probably still be 300,000 to $350,000.
