I had the owner of my local branch doing mine.

Looking to hear from investors, business owners, and anyone who’s navigated this process successfully!

90% and 100% Occupied...Direct to owner

The capital gains exclusion is available to owner occupants primary residence.

If you're a PM, how would you handle this owner?

If you're willing and able, I do recommend the "house hacking" strategy which is just a fancy name for buying a rental property and living in one of the units, because you'll get very favorable financing - an owner-occupied fixed-rate 30-year mortgage.I'd also say, analyze that property as if you won't live there and it's a pure rental, and make sure the property is still cash flow positive if there's a tenant in your unit because then you'll know if it's actually a good investment.And when you analyze it, include payment of a property manager in your #s because if you don't, and doing so would make it go cash flow negative, then you've just bought yourself a job because you literally can't step away from managing it without losing money.

Just like the asking price, just because the owner suggests one interest rate or term doesn't mean you can't offer something different. 

I just started using it and so far the owner info matches up with the county tax info. 

Much bigger buyer pool and particularily is in a single family neighborhood with mostly owner occupants, appeals to owners. 

It justifies the property selling for greater than just market appreciationI do owner builder rehabs but sometimes use contractors for large work scope or scope beyond expertise.
