I was hoping to get other owners to join me in protest but no one seems interested. 

The homestead should remain in place when I'm gone because I will still be the owner.

After half a lifetime of working and saving and investing in index funds while renting, im ready to make the jump into a new asset class.Looking to owner-occupy a multifamily in the city of philadelphia and hopefully pass a portfolio on to my kids someday.open to any and all advice!

While I manage 65 or so units and we allow the owners to make that decision, I also own quite a few units myself. 

If during the quiet title process the original owner comes up with the $5k for the taxes then she can get it back and we’re out $35k.

If it is a trimmed down option agreement, do we then enter into a full PSA with the property owner?

As the program expanded over the decades, it now allows owners to decide whether or not to include utilities.- Most S8 Housing Commission voucher amounts include all utilities.

I am dedicated to creating environments that meet the needs of both tenants and business owners, while steadily growing my portfolio through smart investments.

You VA allotment can cover more than one property so not all of them have to be owner-occupied.Thanks for your post John.

As the owner or landlord you may be able to build a more personal connection with the tenants.
