Some areas have a tax value freeze if you owner occupy, so sale can trigger a huge tax increase. 

Dear Landlords,So I am getting my first property, a duplex in Flagler County, FL closing at the end of this month where I want to occupy one of the units from July 1st.

I've been asked by the tenant to allow a short term roommate (new to the area) to occupy the 2nd bedroom for a single month before moving into a new residence. 

Does anyone know if you can do an FHA streamline refi for a non-occupied unit?

After that it is a custom selection based on various factors, some of which include: vacant/Occupied, due date/last paid, legal status, BK status, property value, etc.  

I bought it through a WHEDA loan and therefore I am required to occupy one of the units (it's a duplex).

Sounds like you want the time and mental space back that this property occupies in your life.

I can buy one with a VA loan if I occupy one of the units but I’m having a hard time finding any on the market right now.

You have to disclose that it won't be owner occupied but it's still conventional financing subject to fannie/freddie underwriting requirements (like a decent DTI)-- you'll pay a little more than you will for an owner occupied property but it still the cheapest financing for a non-owner occupied investment property (I thought these usually aren't callable loans if you haven't done something fraudulent).

Good afternoon, has anyone done a value-add multifamily project in Inglewood that required vacating occupied units?
