Might be 30 to 90 days after closing, so this pads your date some more.If you find a winner, maybe it is fully occupied and you live in NYC until your lease expires, then move into the property.Lastly, even if the landlord is a jerk and you have to pay ~6 months of rent, when you are 80 and a millionaire from your real estate journey, will that 15k(?)

In this scenario what are the financing options if you want title held in a sole member LLC? Are all Fannie, Freddie, & FHA options out? 

First deal there will more than likely be financed owner occupied so I can take advantage of low down payment, but move out and rent after a year.

Also my dad would be a non-occupied co-signer.My goal is to House Hack and buy my first investment property.

The property is a first home buy, and will be  owner occupied.

Has anyone obtained a heloc on a non owner occupied property immediately after closing on it?

The bank is less likely to foreclose on a property that has so little equity.Correct me if I am wrong, but as long as an invest property is full occupied and has consistent cashflow, a higher rate should not be considered an obstacle because the tenants are paying for the mortgage.

In my area, these sell with contract in place first before showings.If you think it might sell better or for more money as owner/occupied potential, then you might have to get the tenant out first, clean it up and sell it vacant.Third idea might be to give the tenant some incentive to clean up if you can sell for X.

Generally, selling a property tenant occupied does indeed diminish the value, however, this is a crazy competitive market right now.
