I don't think FHA cares where you sleep at night lol

So at first let's try to figure out NOI sufficient to make this deal worth buying:TRICK: ON HOW TO FIGURE OUT NOI IF NOT GIVEN:At Asking $1,700,000.00  with( 20%) Down Payment is $340,000.00  And (80%) Loan is $1,360,000.00At 6% Rate factor your annual debt payment should be $81,600.00.

Painting them should be sufficient, IMO.  

Go to sleep, get up in 20 years and be rich!

@Derek Bugg Your loan scenario fit under following guidelines in Fannie Mae:- Children wanting to provide housing for parentsIf the parent is unable to work or does not have sufficient income to qualify for a mortgage on his or her own, the child is considered the owner/occupant.

Especially if that person cannot explain the concept to you sufficiently on their own. 

I also look on sites such as Forbes and Business Insider about the best markets however, I would prefer to be more self sufficient than relying on blog posts from entrepreneur sites.

@Doug Pretorius I lost sleep over this lol, because I figured what you're suggesting should be possible.  

It was your tenant's choice to sleep in a hotel instead on the first floor where it is air conditioned.

Because the changes couldn't be approved, we weren't able to satisfy the self-sufficiency FHA requirement for a 3-unit property.
