Hello, 

we are planning to buy duplex with VA loan.

we found good duplex but both units are tenants occupied and my realtor says one unit needs to be empty when we close. 

However when I researched, it says we need to occupy property within 60 days after closing the deal. 

Can anyone verify this? 

Also my realtor says usually duplex owners prefer cash offer to VA loan, but if we offer more than cash buyers, will it be competitive?

Thanks advance!

' After purchasing property we intend to live one side of property. 

Theres another duplex that our realtor recommended that both units are empty and my realtor also represents seller side. 

Thank you.

Hello, 

my husband and I are trying to buy Triplex but we never had this experience before. We have bought 1 single family house for our primary residence and bought 1 condo for our investing property in FL. 

I contacted sellers agent and asked if we need our own realtor or can he represent buyer side as well. He said either way works. 

I thought having dual agent might more motivate him to sell to us due to high commission. 

However it will be our first triplex and we are worried if we don't get honest advice from realtor. 

So I am not sure what will be better idea, to have our own realtor who can give more buyer side advice or to have dual agent? 

I have been communicating with Sellers agent and I liked fast process. 

Any advice will be appreciated. 

Thank you.

Also HOA don't have budget for 2025. Do you think this is Red flag?

Hello, 

we are middle of purchasing our 2nd property. It will be our investment property. Tenant already there until Oct. This year. 

But my realtor said they are going to do special assessment on this property and HOA runs badly. ( We requested HOA reserve document but no answers. )

We wanted to wait to see how special assessment going and close. 

Now seller says they don't know when special assessment will be done so he rather want us to close end of January or back out. 

My realtor doesnt recommend buying this due to special assement unknown and HOA runs badly.

However we are buyiny with good price. 

What do you guys think?

We really want to wait until HOA done special assessment.

Property is 1 bed condo, First floor, build in 1993 and we are buying at 130K in Florida. 

Thanks.

Hello, 

we are trying to buy our 2nd STR property in Kissimmee/Orlando area.

we currently have 1 bed/1 bath condo in Kissimmee and it is doing well so far. ( been 2 month) 

I am wondering anyone has 2 bed 1 bath property? How's it going? 

I am debating should I buy 2 bed 2 bath condo or 2 bed 1 bath will work as 2 bed/2.bath. 

current 2 bed 1 bath we want to phrachse, is on good location. Near Disney and has mountain view which gives privacy. Whereas little far from amenities like pool or gym. 

What do you guys think?
