I’m looking to connect with experienced investors, especially those who’ve succeeded with buy-and-hold, Maybe even Section 8, or creative finance methods. 

There is also a New program that just dropped the down payments for 2-4 unit investment property purchases to a 15% Down Payment making it easier to afford for inventors now.I am also hearing about a lot of "subject to" deals people using Pace Morby's method or cruising on Crex to find deals.  

You are using my absolute favorite method to get started- a VA mulifamiliy house hack is like jumping on an investing hyper speed train.

Even if they haven’t used REI Hub, it's fairly intuitive, and a good real estate-focused bookkeeper should be able to adapt quickly.

I do not post looking to offend; I am genuinely interested in finding a way to join the real estate business, though I am too low on funds for most other methods.

LVP flooring is my go to for durable flooring that adapts well to our housing inventory.

Then there's always the BRRRR method, if your confident you can sell/rent for a profit and leave little to no money in the house (this way you could pay off a HELOC, 401k loan or similar).

So I can't speak to that method exactly.

As others have noted, you first need to back out the land from the $300k based on a fair market value allocation of the lump sum purchase price (some methods include using a tax bill for the land / building ratio - there are others).

I feel like I'd like to start looking at more deals in different markets, as I'd like to make a purchase before the end of the year, but I need to feel confident about the following: (a) understand what returns I should be shooting for(b) have a fast 10-min evaluation system to make initial, high-level assessments of the deals(c) have a more in-depth evaluation method if it passes the sniff test.
