I live in orange county, California where there is basically nothing under $1 million.

Someone waiting tables while finishing nursing degree, and had some credit issues, YES, gimmie them, I will happily deal with them, those who give a shat about there lives and are clawing way up.

Michael Check out "Lend to Live" in the bookstore.

You buy the property and you have to live with the existing leases in place.Look at the leases and verify the rents are current.See if you can talk with the tenants to see what problems they have with their unit and what their plans are.

All units were vacant but I've already rented two and I live in one so I have only one more unit to rent I shopped around and I found a mortgage broker who was able to get me a 6.99% rate who took the loan to UWM (united wholesale mortgage).

I live in Virginia and looking to purchase a duplex in Texas. 

We live in Southern California but have a lot of family in the north east.

Senator Weinkowski has expressed desire to extend it as they do not want safe units to be removed from the market but so far I have not heard of anything getting approved. 

It has been a pleasure having you as a tenant, and I hope that you are satisfied with your living experience.The rent increase will be from Old Rent to New Rent, which is still below the market value of Market Rent Value, by $200 for the same unit type of 1-unit bedroom, especially with all utilities included.

It's hard to answer outright without knowing a few more things about you - but I believe both VA and FHA require you to live in the properties which may become a problem if you need to do extensive repairs.
