That said, I wanted to share my story about how I found an out-of-state property, got it rented, and set it on autopilot.BackgroundI’m in my late 20s, living in a very high cost of living city and working in tech.

I went owner occupied either conventional or FHA.  3-5% down at the time you only had to live there 1 year and then you can move out or move on. 

Right now I'm living in Baltimore, still working 9-5 W-2.

Hi BP community, My tenant, who lives in a two-story, newer construction SFH complained of a water leakage in the bottom floor kitchen ceiling (through the LED lights).

Built in 1905, this property features a total of 2,832 square feet of living space, divided into two units.

I used to live in the lower mainland but invested where the numbers work like Vancouver Island or Northern BC.

Perhaps I have an odd case but I paid $1.35M or $455 / sq ft for a 3,000 sq ft duplex on a 7,000 sq ft lot in Los Feliz.Once I add the ADU complex, which will be around $350K, it will be a quadplex, 4,600 sq ft of living space. 

If it is cluttered buyers will have a harder time visioning themselves living there. 

We are currently living just south of Boston and are looking to purchase a 2-4 unit property in which we would live in one of the units.
