Aspiring multifamily owner

Mike Schelske

Hi,

I am a veteran and I decided I want to use my VA loan to buy a multifamily property and owner occupy. I've read a couple books, blogs and listened to podcasts and I am ready to start looking for properties but I don't have the money for closing costs or emergency funds for big issues. As I save money I have time to learn, and practice analyzing deals, and growing my network. What is the best approach, do folks spend a hour a day analyzing properties on Zillow and talking to agents and brokers?

Mike

 If you only have an hour a day I would recommend talking to agents.
