@Erin Colbert You would need to be living somewhere, and you would need to sign the deed restriction.You can live on the couch and rent out all the rooms in all the ADUs and JADUs you wanted - as long as you sign the Deed Restriction for owner occupancy, as well as that would go along with the sale, so you could not sell to investor just renting out the house

Zillow also hs a "Make Me Move" feature you can click on to see home owners listing their property in hopes of a good offer.I have also seen peopl reach out tp local AFL Assisted living facilities to talk to the Admin or on boarding nurse to see if ay families or people need to sell their home to cover costs.

Living in MN.

After aggressive encounters, many jurisdictions refuse to allow specific dogs to live in the area.

I live in a costly area, and this is the main stoppage point of getting me to just jump in.

If i lived in San Jose, the first RE investment that i would consider is a local property with an ADU that had distribution on the lot that would allow a profitable lot split.   

@John Cooper when you or someone you care about is living in the home it is important to be extra vigilant in choosing tenants.

When I checked the PVA records, they show 2,419 living sq ft but list zero sq ft as basement.

I live in WA.

So you might be living in the US or in Europe, investment properties are bought to outsource and earn from the cashflow.
