The presenter lost me when in the initial free seminar the speaker was talking about how it was easier to foreclose on an owner than to evict a tenant.

Once the renovations are complete, the property might appeal to owner-occupants or investors, and you could potentially recoup your costs and free up capital for a more profitable deal.

However, every company I find either doesn't insure non-owner occupied units or is extremely expensive.

@Jason Wray who's doing 5% down on owner-occupied 3-4 units?

I’ve seen folks pick up land in similar setups.. sure, maybe not always in Wyoming, but in pockets around San Antonio where people said, ‘Oh, that’s just dry scrubland,’ adn now those owners are sitting pretty with properties they can eventually develop or flip.

The rules on multi-family owner occupied recently changed allowing you to put down as little as 3.5% on up to 4 units.

On top of that, when you go to sell you learn the market has been stagnant and has not appreciated with limited owner occupants & investors are not willing to pay retail given the amount of distressed inventory that exists in the market. 

The owner is @Brandon Sturgill.

You can bill back to the tenant if they caused them, but they have placed the responsibility on the LL because they're trying to curb the spread and know the property owner is more likely to manage that than a tenant especially in a MFR situation.

There's also a considerable risk that the person you're dealing with isn't actually the owner of the property.
