@Chris Seveney @Nathan Gesner The owners offered to cancel their lease and return their security deposit in full.

Account Closed our world is trending to more & more "immediate gratification".Self-showings are the result of this and owners squeezing PMC's profits to nothing.Regarding the PMA, ours is pretty long to cover everything we can realistically think of - yet, many owners freak out about it and hire a PMC with a shorter contract.How would you be reacting right now if someone had broke into your property and stole these things?

Quote from @Cameron Moore: Exactly. 15 years ago, I noticed an increase in owners using insurance to pay for a replacement roof, usually to sweeten the pot during a sale.

If you are going to be an owner-occupant, want a low down payment, and are planning to do a renovation, the FHA 203k and Fannie May Homestyle loans are your best optionsHow do you know the property is currently upside down on the mortgage? 

If you are doing a For Sale By Owner (FSBO), the platform(s) you are using may not be effective.4.

I may start with house hacking to build confidence, take advantage of owners financing (this will be my first home), and to build my network first. 

I have had sellers agreed to owner financing as well as sellers to take steep discounts, as well as sign a purchase and sales agreement with me on the spot. 

I also still use it as an owner.

Now, youre under the gun on a refi needed to finance another purchase and the loan you were counting on isnt - and never was - available to you because of an error that wasnt caught due to a lack on internal quality control.

Numerous times I have been able to think through an issues that arose on a construction site and saved the Owner by proposing an alternate route to resolve it.
