Make sure that before you do this you know and have your investment criteria ready to give them so they know you are serious.EG.UnitsProperty classProperty agePriceOther stipulation (Value add, occupancy, roof type, % below market rents etc...)

I get all the other stipulations, but what are some examples of jobs that have allowed qualifications for REPS?

The loan documents will stipulate that you will move into the property within 60 days of closing and that you intent it to occupy the property itself for 12 months.  

Are you also past your stipulated close of escrow date?

Most lenders are going to want 15-20% in equity before they refinance a property most times so I do not have a problem with the live-in stipulations for the simple fact that it reminds me alot of the  FHA loan that I had been planning to utilize.

The only stipulation was the city had to have access to the basement and I had to install a locking mechanism for the meter in case a tenant quit paying.

There are IRS stipulations on 1031 exchanges when it comes to how many days you can use it yourself, if a 1031 tax-deferred exchange might be something you'd want to do whenever you sell your place later on.

If you're making an offer and want the unit to be empty at the time of purchase, you should stipulate that clearly in your offer. 

There is nothing stipulated in the tenant's lease that this is a landlord's responsibility.Thank you and I appreciate any feedback. 

I'm not sure if there's any 'intent' stipulations regarding that strategy, as long as you intended to hold the property long-term... hopefully Dave will have some input here.
