Order of Operations:-If you plan on getting a HELOC, get one while you are an owner occupant.  

As a PM, I would be worried if a new owner did not ask me some of the following (even if the intention is to only keep me onboard for a short while):- How many properties do you manage?

And will this fall under the Owner Occupied time frame for you to avoid capitol gains?

As a property manager based in Atlanta, I'm would love the chance to present off-market properties to my existing owners. 

Thank you Paul What is the owners name not John is it??

I came across the opportunity to buy a mixed-use commercial property but I wasn’t prepared and not sure how to navigate the commercial process since the owner isn’t willing to seller finance, and I just recently bought a primary home in November so I can’t get any type of owner occupied loan.

The owner is a master plumber and his company is licensed in all mechanicals and he has dozens of subs that do the high quality finish. 

What's the difference between an LLC vs Land Trust for an out of state owner?

How do you know they are the legal owner?

This can get complicated if you are racing against time between getting it sold versus the banks take over.Can you get it sold at a high enough price to pay off the mortgage or is the owner under water?
