@Matthew Roder, what ways do you know of to get around the stipulation of not being able to currently own a property for Home Possible?  

There are some stipulations to getting this done. 1.

Stipulate some heavy fines and breach of lease, then just inspection the units on whatever schedule one likes.

Yes, the contract stipulates all of the above...runs for a year, owner penalized for termination, etc.

If it isn't stipulated, then I would be inclined to provide the statements to the buyer on a monthly basis.

Any mistakes are on him and my contractors agreement with him stipulates it.

The survey requirement is its own stipulation to the loan.

At that lower rent level, I would also stipulate that I would handle all maintenance issues.  

I believe the OG poster stipulated that he was referring to onwer occupant only, as it is clear that using leverage (debt) on renatls has an advantage in that all the interest paid is deductible and the debt allows the investor to apply leverage responsibly to increase ROI.However, I do agree that anyone who states someone should keep a mortgage simply for the reason of the deduction does not understand the numbers as explained by Daniel.

I have randomly selected numbers and associated them with each donation; as Rich has stipulated, for each $25 donation, a donor has gotten a number.
