Most of the time, you can purchase a property with tenants already in place, but the leases often need to expire within a certain timeframe—usually around three months—so you can establish owner occupancy.

The critical factor is whether the property owner can demonstrate that the sale or settlement was made under the threat or imminence of condemnation.

You are most welcome.

@Matthew Giblin you're highly unlikely to succeed if you spread yourself over 4 markets.Recommend you do more research and just pick one of the 4 markets.Then do a trial run and see how it goes. 

This makes me wonder if paying the $29.99 fee might be causing some kind of issue with Zillow’s system.Will update if Zillow can response me.

It never hurts to call them back to see if they have any idea what they are doing just for the reason you said - if they are decent, hop on that list.

I highly recommend you travel to the market yourself and spend a couple days driving around, looking at various properties, if you are going to be buying anywhere.  

We've installed the Moen leak detection device, which detects leaks both hot water and cold water, and monitors water usage and gives you weekly reports.

Just like you, I leaned on BiggerPockets when I was starting out—super helpful!

I appreciate any insights you can provide!
