The other obvious benefit is clean living and sustainability :) Let me know your thoughts! 

Just my thoughts, asking outsiders from all different markets with different experiences wont give you the exact answer you’re looking for. 

It could help us to cut costs, but it's not imperative right now.Any thoughts about either?

If it's flipping for now, then stick to your plan, unless your plan was not well thought through.

I thought I had it all figured out with my other 12 rental units, but 639 Plymouth Rd threw me for a loop.

I should preface my response with saying that I have never done this but can offer my opinion as food for thought at leastMy question is: What makes a "good" deal and/or how do I know when I've come across a "good" deal?

I have always thought a business name as the host was more impersonal.

I have a couple of thoughts - #1- how do you know your real estate agent is working for you?

I am beyond the two years required.What I am trying to do is find a way to buy a multifamily using FHA 3 1/2% down payment as opposed to 20% or 25% as an investment property.I have a situation where it would be beneficial for me to try and help my mom and my sister move into a place  because I can afford to purchase it… The grey area is whether or not they are considered family members per FHA guidelines to qualify for the 3 1/2% down payment. on the FHA website… It says family members are considered parents, sisters, brothers, etc.I am definitely not trying to do anything illegal, I just thought maybe if I sell my primary residence… I could buy the multiunit per FHA guidelines as long as my mom and my sister are considered family.I have been told that the 12 month or 24 month living requirement only requires one family member to live in the home… So if my mom and my sister are considered family members… Does that meet the requirement?
