I agree duplexes are inflated and roi isn't the greatest. 4plexes are not that much more and you can use va loan to live there.

Bridge loans can be a great short-term solution, but timing is everything.Have you used them to transition between purchases or refinances?

Hello everyone, I'm an active duty military guy and have lofty real estate investing goals, focusing on SFH and duplexes long-term rentals (likely starting off with a turnkey/minimal rehab required duplex because of VA loan considerations and being new to the game).

Every investor has their preference — lower points, shorter terms, or more flexibility during rehab.If you could design your ideal loan product, what would it look like?

DSCR loans are great - if you are originating them you will want to make sure you connect with a good aggregator as some are good and some are awful to deal with.

I also know that upgrades would make the property much more energy‑efficient and cost‑effective in the long run through lower utility bills.With that in mind, I’m considering using the VA renovation loan to update the electrical system, add central air, and address any other needed repairs or improvements within the budget.My main concern is that most of the multifamily properties I’ve looked at currently have tenants in place.

Are you looking for an equity split, or just a quick payday? 

What kind of loans can I get?

Many people think you can just use VA loans indefinitely to house hack, which is not the case.
