It is not uncommon at all for Fannie Mae and HUD to have MFRs listed - I sold a Fannie Mae triplex earlier this year, and the new owner is now living in one unit and has tenants in the other two that are paying his mortgage.

David, it's not uncommon for short sales to drag on long enough that foreclosure occurs.

Mandatory inspections are not uncommon.

Here are some numbers to exemplify the real impact on cap rate decompression:$30mm purchase at 3% cap (not uncommon - I have interviewed people that bought at 2.5%)NOI = $900,000     (30,000,000 / .03)Value at a 4% cap = $22,500,000     (900,000 / .04)Loss of $7.5mm based on a one percent cap rate rise.This does not take into account the variable rate bridge loans.My advice for multifamily folks is to look at other asset classes. 

Also I know that it is not that uncommon for people to give mobile homes away for free if you can have it moved; I seen one on Craigslist in Fort Walton in this same scenario just a couple weeks ago.      

This is NOT uncommon.

This is not an uncommon method used, to allow folks to refinance a mortgage.

Many companies will do notes or bonds that are unsecured debt against company as they don’t want to pin it to every asset which is not uncommon - but when they take on additional debt that is secured and/or start to incur massive losses that’s when it gets hairy.

Is it common or uncommon to have multiple home insurance to cover the entire cost of your home in the event a big disaster happens?

Hi Kevin this is not an uncommon method of investing.
