I'm closing in the type of investments i want, rentals, just need to do a little more research.

Recent events have pressed more of a NEED than a WANT- looking to get my brother-in-law into a flip or BRRRR-type property for a few reasons: 1) Get a young single father an alternative living arrangement to current situation 2) Allow him to pay down debt 3) Get him interested in real estate investing for lifelong financial benefit.

What type Multi Family property is it?  

They'll finance a $20m property for me all day long where as a "Quicken Loans" type place won't finance a $100k SFH. 

The type of units Im looking at are multi-family with at least 5 units.I know theres sites that give area averages but Im looking for more granular than that and ideally with at least 3-5 years data.  

So I think this all depends on your goals, timeline, the type of market, etc.  

The police said I would need to evict.These are the types of things that keep or force people out of the business, meaning there is more reward for those of us who stay.

I'm sure everyone here on BP would be glad to help but we need to know what type of real estate you are looking to invest in?

In the meantime, I would like to amend my loan type to a more conventional loan so that I can purchase a home in Virginia using my VA benefit.

Does anyone have any experience in actually succeeding in acquiring a loan, or being the lender to this type of loan?
