Thx for the lead....but check out Meriden, CT and i can even connect you with a nice agent there, her name is Maya and she is very helpful.

I am of course biased, but if you think you may end up in that position, may as well start with a mortgage broker.

@Maya A.Well, I’ve never done a lease option, but thought about it a lot and had lots of discussions with tenants about it.

It was rough trying to get leases from March-Mid May. A

I figured house hacking would make the most sense right now given that I'm still paying rent on a 1 BR near the La Jolla/UTC area, so I may as well look into moving out and spending that rent money on my own property soon.

Within manufacturing, auto production surged 105% in June, following a similarly strong gain of 120.1% in May, as car and truck factories continued to resume operations.

In my opinion, going conventional for a 4plex is a tough call because you have to put down so much $, you may as well save up a little more and get a commercial property...which is exactly what I plan to do next.

Even though the seller seems responsive, no luck so far in terms of producing documents acceptable to the title company.The contract is pretty general, as it states:"DEFAULT: If Buyer fails to comply with this contract, Buyer will be in default, and Seller may (a) enforce specific performance, seek such other relief as may be provided by law, or both, or (b) terminate this contract and receive the earnest money as liquidated damages, thereby releasing both parties from this contract.

But at the same time I'm a fan of diversification too and cost savings being that I'm already closing on a loan here and thus may as well use it to save 4% on a rental (fees) and be a cash buyer (as far as a seller is concerned), both of which improve my equity ratio out of the gate.

You are going to get stuck in the middle anyhow, so you may as well question it on the tenants behalf
