I personally stay away from turnkey companies.

It’s always a good idea to consult a tax professional or real estate bookkeeper to ensure you maximize your deductions while staying compliant.

The way I read the Regs, it's a 4-day stay that counts as a 4-day stay for both years.

In short, you need to stay there a year as an owner-occupant and then you refinance into a conventional, rent both units and then you can use the FHA to do it again on a new one.

It's hard to stay that today. 

. :)The best book I've read is "The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing" by Spencer Strauss.

We passed, but even little things like  string lights or not having a grate over the fire pit were big concerns.Overall the numbers in Fredericksburg are staying the same compared to 2022 in my experience.

A lender should not be guilting you into staying with them. 

There are always deals out there and Texas is experiencing a return to normal with pricing coming down and supply staying up.

Thanks for the replies - going to try a different number first, then I'll be at my property this afternoon to work on my empty unit so I can try knocking on the door myself.locally we have a 5 day notice for non-payment as well, I'm definitely trying to stay ahead of the curve on my local regulations, great call-out!.
