If an individual earned a decent base income from a FT job (relative to the area), then doing owner occupant maybe 3 times in a row, for example, should not a problem...

@Armando Martinez , As long as you are taking title to as much investment real estate as you sell it does not matter what you do with the extra.

It means extra, unnecessary costs to you because you would have to file a tax return for each LLC which means more filing fees and more preparation fees. 

I dont have a house yet, so no extra room to rent out but I'd prefer owning something with separate space.

When one plans to live in a unit, should you analyze the deal as if there is a tenant renting that unit, or should you try to find a good cash flow without that extra unit's rent added in?

It's easy to do, they just make you do the extra work to get it.

The month to month clause is written into the initial lease so there is no extra paperwork. 

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

We don’t all know everything but an agent you like and that wants to earn your long time business will work hard for you and find the answers you need.I am an investor focused REALTOR and property manager.

Showing is a small part of the transaction, the rest is where you earn your commission. 5.
