Looking for incite on any fellow BP members in the area who are agents or any agent recommendations for helping me get my feet wet in the local area. Looking for one familiar with Multi-family buy and hold.

I have been looking into some Duplex properties in CA recently and have been noticing that a large number seem to not have a permit on file with their town or city for the second property that is on the land. I prefer to use a VA loan on future purchases, how does a permit affect getting a loan overall and are there any ways around this problem?

@Andrew K. Thanks for the reply! I will for sure spend this upcoming deployment looking into the requirements and what I can and cannot do with a VA loan during my free time.

@Andrew Johnson Your are definitely right about BP being a great resource, I try to use it as much as I can. I will keep what you said in mind as I look into my area more while I am gone, the rehab cost advice will really help me and gives me more thought into how I will use the VA loan, Thanks for the information and your reply!

Hello all! I am an aspiring investor currently in the military and stationed in southern California. I have an upcoming deployment and am pushing back my plans currently, but I am looking for help on what my best options are for financing upon my return next year. For my wife and I, I want to purchase at least a duplex but a triplex would be all the better, I am looking for insight into whether I should apply for a VA loan, standard finance options or possibly for private financing in regards to turning around shortly for another property and the general market of SO CAL.
