I think you have about 90 days to move into the property for an owner-occupied loan but I am not sure if that differs between FHA vs. conventional - @Zack Karp or @Jose Valdovinos could confirm that...Either way, I'd follow the advice of others above...give the seller two or even three separate offers that work for you. 

Good morning all....Your thoughts on sending surveys to your owners (landlords) and to your tenants asking how you are doing as their property manager?

Our first investment property was affected by theDecember 2023 tornado outside of the Nashville area.

Please let me know as I am about to start a major commercial building painting job which will cost over 13k in paint!

Not securing the property.

I have a nice hi-rise condo unit and I get tons of companies asking if I do MTRs for Visiting Nurses, Tech Professionals, etc.My place is positioned near a number of large DC Metro Hospitals, but since covid work-from-home and recent lift of Eviction Moritorium, I have had few people with jobs, but a ton of people recently evicted looking to rent my place.The one viable group - visiting nurses has been excluded because my HOA will not allow short or mid-term rentals (anything less than one year is a No-No).They claim too many transient tenants cause excessive wear and tear on the property and too many people using resources like the gym, or pool or common areas.I think that's a lot of horse waste!

My personal account was just for talking about beings a landlord, investing in property, and being an agent in Chicago, so nothing remotly close to inappropriate. 

Those that are locking in new mid term properties - are you cash flowing?

Should I sell off a rental property or two and pay for new construction in cash?

I have a property that I need to refinance into a 30 Year Term.
