Every multi out there right now for sale are occupied with low paying tenants.

To the west is also popular, like Pooler, but I'm not familiar with regulations.You could do Mid-Term Rentals, 30+ day anywhere for now.You could house hack and from what I understand, there is no restriction if the unit is owner occupied in some form.

@Nathan Pethers recommend you use the BiggerPockets Agent & PMC lookup features since +95% of agents CLAIM they can work with an investor, but actually only know how to do owner-occupied transactions.Your PMC and agent should work together, on your behalf so make sure they play nice:)

as long as owner intents to occupy and has control, they are able to lease out. the biggest thing would be to not have a PM manage the property, as of that point they would then have control over availability. straight from FNMA guideshttps://selling-guide.fanniemae.com/sel/b2-1.1-01/occupancy-types#:~:text=Second%20Home%20Properties,-The%20table%20below&text=If%20the%20lender%20identifies%20rental,including%20the%20occupancy%20requirement%20above).

There are a lot of programs for “first time home buyers” out there right now, which pretty much means all you need to qualify is meet the IRS definition which is essentially cannot have owned and occupied your primary residence for the past three years.

I won a bid on a property, and took the risk of the property being occupied.

Especially with the in-law unit, you may be required by the town to occupy one of the two units, please look into your regulations.The question I have is why would buy it at all?

I have a question: i have a tenant occupied property going up for sale do i let tenant know or not & why?

Are you buying the house as a an owner occupied, or as a rental? 

I just purchased a foreclosed property but it’s occupied.
