@Monica Johnson I would be careful of a 2Br if your end buyer is an owner occupant.

How much new AirBnB inventory is coming online and how is that impacting prices and occupancy?

Some prevent rental, occupancy in excess of x people per unit, per bedroom, no at home work or business is allowed and so on. 

Even in the better areas, i saw occupancy drop and rents that are not supporting current prices.

If you read the conditions, the proposed transfer cannot violate the terms of the deed of trust... the 12 month occupancy as primary residence requirement is specifically mentioned.Further, the validity of transfers such as this require that the lender be given notice and the opportunity to review and approve the proposed transaction... which approximately 0% of BP users are doing.

Both were estate sales in poor condition and could not be sold to owner occupants using conventional financing.

What is the rental occupancy status and the rent? 

I'll take over their mortgage, cover the closing costs, and take care of the property until either my occupant or I refinance the mortgage into our name.

City taxes are lower and passing occupancy is easier than the county.  

Last winter, with the early and often snow, occupancy was fantastic - following several years of sporadic snow and occupancy.
