I own a unique mobile home park in South Carolina that's relatively small (5 acres) comprised of 12 lots (I own 8 of the homes while the other 4 are owner-occupied and charged lot rent) along with a house (3 units). 

I've met the owner, and my friend has 2 padsplit properties.

Quote from @Christine Gordon: Quote from @Roi Azoulay: This firm is known to advertise fake distressed properties all over NY and reach out the the actual owner w/attempt to get listing agreement, Unfortunately they are still active and keep doing this for many years and no other website/mls does anything about it. 

Btw, this all applies to owner occupied SFR sellers; commercial or investment property falls under general commercial transaction regs 

There are significantly less opportunities for HELOC on non-owner occupied but there are some (you would likely need to investigate to find a few).  

The big hangup for them was entering the IRA as the account owner, and me as the manager. 

My property manager uses Buildium and I have been very happy with it as an owner they represent. 

As an out of town owner, one benefit of Madison is that we do have a good supply of property management companies to consider. 

Quote from @Braden Fisher: Hey my names Braden, I’m a new investor in the salt lake area looking to buy my first deal as an owner occupied house hack.

If it's not a gift, more documentation and explanation will be needed (are they also owners, is there a loan, etc).
