Some insurance companies offer policies specifically designed for owner-occupied multifamily properties, so it’s worth asking about that option.The key is ensuring both your personal residence and the rental unit are adequately covered.

City National Bank is offering up to a $50,000 grant to buy properties in certain neighborhoods. 

It offers a great opportunity to learn the ins and outs of the industry while building a network. 

That experience taught me the importance of leaning on local expertise, even if it feels like an unnecessary expense at first.One strategy I’ve seen work occasionally is offering the tenant a “cash for keys” deal, where you pay them a small amount to vacate voluntarily.

I would consider offering an incentive like a free application fee, or $50 off first month, free parking for 3 months etc.

They run a customizable fund platform that many fund managers have started using in recent years.I'm not involved in the development space much, but a newer person can generally only offer so much to a more experienced person in this business. 

Our program offers a range of coverage levels, including basic or special form coverage and actual cash value (ACV) or replacement cost (RC) loss settlement methods.

Others are responsible with their budget and can stretch a dollar.If they are excellent renters, I would offer them the option to renew and let them make the choice.

We made an aggressive offer quickly.
