@Cody TuathaDe, you might not have seen the conversation started by @Alonso NoriegaMy suggestion is that you get a HELOC or a fixed rate second mortgage on your property before you move out, so you garner the benefits of owner occupied rates.  

I'm interested in buying the property and would like to see if the owner has any interest in selling the property for a reasonable value.

Start negotiating with owner to go under contract.

I own an owner-occupied duplex in Philadelphia, and each unit is equally 800 square feet.

So is the main items for NOI:1. operation expenses (i.e. owner responsible utilities)2. property taxes3. insurance4. maintenance & repairs5. vacancy rates6. snow plowing  (or is this until maintenance?)

You may not get the same rent as you did with the prior owner but at least you can stabilize the property in the short term, pay down the mortgage and reassess in 5 years.   

Renting to travel nurses and corporate housing can be a great way to generate steady income from your property.To attract potential renters, you may want to consider listing your condo on websites such as Furnished Finder, Travel Nurse Housing, and Corporate Housing by Owner.

Which of you get owner’s title insurance?

We're handling two of these for owners right now, one just passed final inspection, the other they came up with their 3rd set of repairs:(If your home is north of 10 Mile, your rent should be too high to qualify for S8.

That's what STR owners in Arizona thought too.
