:I would LIKE to purchase a duplex here in Los Angeles through an FHA loan and owner-occupy one unit for minimum two years while renting the other to cover my mortgage costs, while continuing to work the same hours and increase my income to simultaneously SAVE what I WOULD pay for rent (had I not bought this property) to increase my emergency fund and build another down payment.

There are so many moving parts to a high end remodel or construction site and trying to do both simultaneously is literally impossible.

I am not a cash buyer but hard money and enough funds down to do a couple deals simultaneously should I find good deals.

We analyze the entire market of single family and small multifamily properties simultaneously to sort out outliers. 

Just because it’s on the mls doesn’t mean you have do all the traditional “red tape”.Of course, I hoped you have advised him on the issues of offering financing to owner occupants.If I owned a brokerage and an agent was trying to simultaneously fsbo a property that I supposedly had an exclusive brokerage only listing agreement on at the same time.....we might have a problem. 

Blanket Mortgages: This type of loan can finance multiple rental properties simultaneously with a single loan.

I personally believe political stupidity will win, pressing Fed to be the "sober driver" of the economy, and we could see liquidity being created and throttled simultaneously. 

It is possible your buildings sit above the flood level and could be removed off the FEMA Flood Map.So @Josh Green @Jason Bott @John Mocker @Frank Zhang use an engineering firm (like National Flood Experts) simultaneously to see if the flood zone designation on those buildings can be removed, which will eliminate any lender mandates forcing you to purchase flood insurance, and enjoy those savings (of not purchasing flood) which is a ton of NOI the current owner doesn't even know exists.

I assume you're referring to putting a property under contract with the intention of either assigning the contract or doing a simultaneous resale.  

Then one escrow with yor and the purchase price (including the $5K which he gets immediately) with $130K cash.4) Then he tells escrow to close both simultaneously.
