Beginning to interview the agents.

BP Community:I am fairly new to BP, sorry if this is a basic question.I recently listened to BP podcast episode 336 interview with @Robert Jones, and fell in love with his "owner occupied to rental" strategy of taking an owner-occupied mortgage, living in it for a year and a day while improving the home, then renting it out and moving to a new owner-occupied mortgage home.My questions are:I would like to use this strategy, but what is the minimum amount of time I could live in a home before renting it out?

I feel like it would be a good way to see what’s out there right now and help me with interviewing potential tenants.

CMBS loans account for about 50% of the U.S. commercial real estate loan market.Real estate experts interviewed for this story cautioned it is too early to tell whether banks ultimately will absorb whatever fallout is to come from the coronavirus crisis, or whether landlords will break with tradition and negotiate down lease contracts to accommodate struggling tenants.

Since I’m new to this, I am not sure how to proceed as I have two issues.. 1) tenant strength is different vs when I agreed to this deal a few months ago2) it’s impossible to do tenant interviews, inspection, etc given current conditionsI had my lawyer draft a extension addendum and seller agreed to a 15 day extension, but it’s such a short period extra and doesn’t address the tenant strength issue I am facing.

I was looking at a 21 unit complex and I wanted to "interview" PM's.

Craigslist.Phone interview before they even know address. 1.

Now I have my brother conduct the interviews with Me.

BP has some great resources to help you find and interview property managers.

I’ve got an interview for a maintenance worker position at an apartment complex.
