Ask to speak with some of their current owners and current/former tenants.

I use Auto Owners Insurance.

To stretch your $35,000, consider a FHA Loan (3.5% down) or owner financing.

If the software is not simplifying your life or making you more accurate, you shouldn't use it.Software does have extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

I'm looking at a duplex and id owner occupy it .

You especially need one side empty for any owner occupant buyers.

The seller is willing to owner finance 75% of the loan but wants the other 25% upfront.

I depleted my savings when I stupidly renovated a house on which I'm not the sole owner on title.

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.

We've never had an owner that was not unhappy paying one.
