Are you looking to live in one unit and rent the others? 

Owner occupied united increased by 8.4%"Still, although the overall share of households that rented decreased, the number of rented units increased by over a million units (43.3 million to 44.6 million)."

Regards,VivienHouse hacking a 2-4 unit property is a convenient way to get started and a useful strategy for growing your portfolio!

I base my rents on the condition of the unit and the competition. 

We have a pretty good Tenant who is moving from one apartment unit to another.

Depends on what your goals are. 1-4 units are still residential, so it doesn't really matter how you start.

I just turned over a unit in middle of August.

I’ve recently undertaken to paint 3 units, two 2 bedrooms and one 1 bedroom.

Being a brand new unit you have rehabbed you might have to get her out rather than potentially ruin the whole unit by an act of her negligence.

The loan is with you, not with your tenant, so none of that means anything to them - in fact because you live in one unit and it's under 4, if you were self-managing you don't even have to abide by fair housing laws (at least on the federal level).
