Once you take over a property as an owner occupant, if it is a single family or condo you can live in it for 1 year and that automatically exempts your unit from rent control.

I currently own a 1 bed 1 bath single-family house as my primary residence.

I'm replacing a boiler for a single-family home, 1400 sq.ft.

Lenders stopped allowing rent by the room due to modifications done to the property resulting in functional obsolescence and significant cost to cure in the event there was a default and they needed to foreclose on the home and resell it, given that the main buyer pool for single-family homes are primary occupants. 

It’s clear that there’s an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience here, and I’m excited to continue learning and growing with this community.I’m looking to connect with members who are open to mentoring or collaborating on real estate deals, particularly in buy-and-hold strategies for single-family or multi-family properties.

@Camille RomeroOhio has plenty of good options under $200k for single family homes and small multifamily. 

S8 standard voucher amounts INCLUDE all utilities.

There’s no single right answer to every situation, but the more you educate yourself and build your network, the more confident you'll become.Lastly, don’t hesitate to ask questions here, no matter how small they seem.

You have to have exit values of single family homes high enough where build cost can work.

We are looking for low maintenance (so primarily new construction or >2000 and well maintained/rennovated) single family homes.
