@Desteni Barnes reach out to experiences investors or agents in the area you are looking in. I

What market is this in? I

was how do I figure out what is an ideal market to invest in (I should have specified I would like to invest in multi families preferably) but you made it clear that is basically case by case, did I understand correctly?

@Jo WeissThe screening process is supposed to occur prior to the tenants moving in.  I

@Greg Levi Which town is this in?I

Since she has moved in, I have cited him for a couple of lease violations (which was her fault).

Hey Alex,Congrats on jumping in. I

So the price of a true yes/no answer is equal to an appraisal fee and a few weeks waiting; once the appraisal came back it had to go to the Dept of Veterans Affairs regional office in (I want to say) Arizona where it sat for a week before they came back with a yes.

Keep in mind, understanding the market you are investing in is far more crucial.  

Once I decided to move in I refinanced under a 10/1 ARM, in house, non-compliant loan (because other banks required a 6 month seasoning period since the LLC was solely owned by me).
