The owner already owns several properties and has achieved some success but may need some referrals to meet current repair demands.

Hi Bigger Pockets,I purchased a condo in the bay area this year living as an owner-occupant with housemates.

I know there has to be a great deal of trust that has to exist with the owner and his or her team  but being a first time investor I would like to know what successful investors with rent to retirement have done in the past. 

It makes sense that they're hard to find because most owners go the STR route, but long term leasing might be a reasonable alternative too.    

I am finding conflicting information about whether or not this is allowed in Jacksonville, Florida.I've found info stating that the owner must live in one unit and rent the other, or must rent both units to the same tenant, and the two units cannot be rented separately to two different tenants.

I see there are 4 different types of rehab loans.FHA 203kFannie Mae HomestyleFreddie Mac ChoiceRenovationVA Renovation LoanI don’t want to be an owner occupant.

We also guarantee the listing back when owner/investor decides to sell.

Some owners will compensate by adding some gaming equipment to an upstairs loft or another living area.

.- Review Historical Permits: Check with local building authorities to see if the previous owner obtained the necessary permits for the repairs.

It was going to be an owner occupied and the building has had 3 price drops already from 2.5mil to 1.8mil.
