Answer sure.. have to check if there is a due on sale clause or if you have a PG to the orignal seller.. that mortgage stays in your name unless there is a formal assumption  Maybe the example is more challenging for a house as the property.Ex. with vacant land - seller finances to me $20k with 5% down and $1k/moCan I after 1-2 months, then resell the land to a cash buyer for $25k, pay off the original $20k and pocket the $5k?

If I was looking in PG County, I think Hyattsville and College Park would be my main targets.

I'm interested in multi-family investment and want to buy a residential multi-family (2-4 units) to live in one unit.Ideally in Montgomery County as I live in Rockville (or PG county/Baltimore)

Quote from @Patrick Roberts: Quote from @Jay Hurst: Quote from @Zach Edelman: If you do a DSCR loan and vest it in an entity - you and your partner can both PG the note and it will report to neither of your credit reports, thus having no impact on your DTI! 

Areas in PG County Maryland or West Virginia, for example, might offer better opportunities for cash flow with a smaller down payment.That said, if you’re willing to hold long-term, Northern VA can be a fantastic place to invest.

PG's are worthless those that have PGs that are worth anything dont need gap funding they have the cash.this is a play for folks you know well .. not for internet facebook BP etc.. people that do this do it because they know you like you trust you and think your a good operator.Public has to many other choices that are much safer bet.. its not always about ROI with those with money..

I am now looking to get into new construction development in the PG, Montgomery, and Rockville county areas of Maryland.

An example may be:- Rear yard: Minimum 5 feet distance- Side yard: Minimum 5 feet distanceHere is a screenshot of the most recent Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) which outlines setback requirements (pg. 48)ODU Click Here to View4.

The right idea is going to be the bread and butter.1) Ideal location2) Quality properties over quantity of properties3) 1.25x DSCR4) Intention to hold no less than 8, but ideally 12+ years.5) Sufficient cap reserves6) Mechanisms to enhance cash flow(via alt investing or house strategies).7) Liability protection through no PG loans(if possible), LLC formation, property management and being a diligent landlord.8) Invest deeper, before wider.Now if you're talking where to invest, different information.

Getting a commercial loan won't free up your DTI since you would be a PG on the loan.
