My team and I are property managers for a lot of section 8 owners here and I have been an agent for 20 years.

It’s considered an act of god if a strong wind blows down a healthy tree that nobody expected to fall, but if a dead tree has been looking like it’s about to fall for awhile and the owner has been notified of the hazard it causes, then their inaction can cause them to be negligent in addressing the hazard, and they may be found to be liable.

We have had multiple phone calls with all parties, and our owner has taken time to personally speak with him as well.

Try getting owner financed deals.

Just to mention a few:- Wynn Casino (First Casino in the GCC states) in Ras al Khaimah- Al Maktoum International Airport (set to become the worlds busiest airport)- Palm Jebel Ali (the second palm bigger and more luxurious)- Expo City (Regions largest exhibition center)Its a lot of information but I believe it gives a simple explanation to the complex market here.Let me know if you would like to know more about the market and if you would need guidance into exploring the possibilities here!

A 1031 exchange is NOT available for owner occupied property so that’s the bad news.The good news is for owner occupied primary residences, for married couples, the first $500,000 of pain is tax free.No need to worry about a 1031, live in the house, sell it, use the $500,000 exclusion and you pay KP tax on whatever profit may exist,2.

Site Civil and land use planning....I've been in the conversations for major clients that have both pursued an eminent domain against adjacent owners and have had takings due to eminent domain.

Narrow down your location based off of your comfortability, budget, local property owner regulations, and rent to price ratio, and you'll be building a portfolio in no time. 

Interesting in hearing feedback and pricing comparables to an off market potential deal where I have met the owner who is willing to sell his 3 units building (SFH with 2/2 and behind it an ADU with 2 other 1bed units and 2 car garage).

I doubt that owner-occupiers would be the early users.
